Bill, you are the hero of the day. I am nine months pregnant, my husband has to go to work, and because of this video we have water. I really appreciate you taking the time to post this video!

Hello. Im a 63 yr old woman, living by myself on a budget. I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your video. I just fixed my pump switch myself! I saved at least $90. which is what the plumber charges to just come here! I was also happy to see that your own switch doesn't look all shiney and new like it was just cleaned by a housekeeper! You're a real guy. Thanks again. Im sure I'll be back LOL

You sir just saved my night! Down @ 10pm back up in 15 minutes. Definitely need to replace it but she’s running for now

Just a fyi for those unsure of testing voltage : You will get 240 volts measuring the two OUTER contacts, this is the power from the panel breaker. You will measure 120 volts to ground from each outer leg. The two inner terminals supply that power to the pump when the contacts close (calling for pressure). Voltages should read roughly the same when the contacts are closed. You can use this method with power on to troubleshoot the pressure switch, or use continuity check with power off, but you check the left side contacts and the right side contacts. One lead on L1, the other on T1, meter will read OL when open, about 0.1 - 2 ohms closed. If the reading is alot higher or OL when closed, the contacts are bad. Hope this helps someone. 😊

Thanks so much!! Saved me $$$ and a night of no water. I feel so accomplished!!

A savior you are! I know nothing about home repair n don’t have money for a professional. I was beginning to panic, as water is a critical necessity. A 5min video n 5 minutes of my time and I have running water again! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!

One of the best quick fix videos I've seen. Straight and to the point and resolved the issue I was having. Thanks!

Bless you. Woke up had no water,looked on KZfaq found your video. I have water and will be getting a new switch

Brother, you are a lifesaver. Worked perfect! Live long and prosper.

Brother, you just saved me a lot frustration and money! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. Many blessings.....

You da man! 2200 here and all is well. Sanded those points and even had a can of contact cleaner lying around. Def a lifesaver. I had rigged up a 240V plug for the generator to survive the 8 days of no power here in Hurricane Matthew slapped Lake City, SC. That was a lot of stress on those contacts....thank you sir!

Dude thank you so much for this. QUICK video is much appreciated, well laid out steps, very clear. You’re saving a lot of people a lot of money and big headaches. Thank you for helping people out.

Thank you for the clear instructions. We just followed them and got our pump working again, no call to a pro needed. So happy to have been able to deal with this fix ourselves.

Straight to the point and very accurate this guy … HE’s The MAN ! 😘

Amazing! I couldn’t believe it was just this little problem. You saved me a ton of troubleshooting. Thanks a million!

Thank you sooo much. Three days without water and no one available to service my well. Watched your video and walla service resyored. I can not thank you enough for posting this video. Save me lots of trouble and money and did it in less than 2 minutes. Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. I used an emery board instead of sandpaper and the result was amazing. Left a black streak on the board. In less time than it took to watch your video, I had water running again.

You are the man Big Bill didn’t have to watch a 10 minute video , you are the only one who solved my problem I thank you, my family thanks you God Bless keep up the great videos

Thank you so much for taking this video. figured out one of the little connectors on my switch had broken off 20$at home Depot and my pump is running fine. awesome. thanks again.

Thank you! This is the only resource we came across that said to try cleaning the contacts, and it worked! We thought we might end with a huge bill to replace the actual well pump, but this was free, took less than five minutes and WORKED!

You saved us! We saw your. Ideo and followed the steps and we now have water. I have never commented on anything but I wanted you to know that we thank you for your insight.

I can't thank-you enough lost all water pressure during storm Stella watched your video and did as instructed and sure enough we are good to go awesome fix.

Hallelujah! Its 27 degrees out and I was so close to starting to pull my well pump, and was NOT looking forward to that! (165ft depth) You saved me! Thank you so much! (Didn't think it would work because the voltmeter showed the pump line was getting power with contacts closed, but decided to try it anyways, so anyone else with the same problem should give it a go just in case)

Thanks Bill, called repair guy 16 hours ago, filled the well for $100.00 and the sandpaper worked the magic!

You are a lifesaver. 12:30 am Sunday morning. I discover no water. Wake up hubby who has to get up at 5:45 am to go to work as a firefighter (24 hour shift). No water effects us and my father's home. We checked some things out and no luck. Started googling and found a couple of videos before we found yours. Did what you said and it was either that or the slightly lose wire we discovered because of what you told us to do but WE GOT WATER! Huge thank you for posting the video😄

Thanks for posting this Bill! The well pump quick Workin at my brother's place last night. He called a local pump repair place and they told him the pump would have to be replaced and would cost him $1600 just for the new pump. I knew it most likely wasn't the pump because it was only 3 yrs old. So after I seen your video, I went out and cleaned all the contacts in the relay switch good, and PRESTO! pump works perfect. Thanks again!

Dude THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Your video saved my bank account and my sanity. God bless you, your wisdom and you generosity with sharing it. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! Worked like a charm. No Sunday charge for the well guy!

You saved my husband from having a nervous breakdown!!!! No water at 8 at night, nobody to call, but thanks to you we get showers tonight and we go to work tomorrow clean!!!!! Thank you very much!!!!

Thank you for this video. It's a money saver!!

Wow thanks for taking the time to post this! Got out of the shower this morning, went to brush my teeth and no water. A quick google search brought me here and less than 20min later I had water again! You da man!

my dog was hungry so I feed him I went to go add some water to his water dish and discovered no water I call my dad he's a license plumber but didn't know how to help me cause he doesn't work on wells but knows only a little about them than I decided to Google and came across this video and you sir you saved me a lot of headache for now I have running water again but will soon be replacing the switch cause the contacts are thin ... but thank you for a simple video it saved me a lot ....and God Bless

You are a life saver! Seriously though, so glad I found this video...worked like a charm...saved me some $$$! Thank you sir!

thank you so much!!! i raise goats & have five dogs, so i was very stressed out by my water not working. did as you said, and its as good as new.

Thanks bro. Worked perfect. You saved me some loot. And made me look like a hero to the family.

Thank you. I checked the contacts and ya, they're corroded. I turned off the power, opened and closed the contacts, then turned on power. BOOM. It worked. Good short term fix. Now to figure out how to replace the whole thing.

Thank you SO much--one of the contact springs had somehow gotten off kilter--I popped it back in place, and viola! Man, you saved my whole weekend!

Thanks Bill, Came home from work and after dinner, the better half was washing some clothes, and then water dribbled out. I checked the voltage, which was there. So I did a search, and your advice, which I took, and the points were fouled, and a little cleaning and we had water again! Dan

Thanks man! Had to do this walking out to the yard to my little well house all soaking wet in 50 degree weather at 7am this morning. Normally in the summer time, ants get all over the switch and everything. I have to cut the breaker off and brush them off with a paint brush and spray ant raid around the area. But this time there was a 40 degree drop tonight so I was completely distraught on that to do this time. This video helped so much. Thanks again and keep posting! :)

You just literally saved the night. I was showering in the new home I bought recently and water ran out. Got out my Pump/Well book, but thought I might try searching on YT first... watched your video, crawled under house (that was the hardest part, actually!) and did exactly as you suggested... worked like a charm! Thank YOU! You saved me money, time and lots of frustration. And I got to finish my shower... with water! Hooray!

Thank you so much! This just fixed my well! I've been telling to figure it out all day waiting on my brother to get off work to come and help. I ran across this video and out worked for me so thank you very much

You rock! I woke up to no water in our house. literally fixed in 2 minutes. THANK YOU!

Thank you Brother,that you find a time to put this video. Help for so many people,

This video just saved me a lot of money.

Thank you so very very much this fixed my problem that ive been scratching my head on all day

Great tip. I came back from vacation and my pump wasn't working. Saw your video and fixed my problem in 3 minutes. Thank You!!!!

Thanks Bill. You the Man!

You are the man Mr Eaglerunner! Much obliged.

Thanks man! Woke up this morning with no water and did what you said in the video and now it’s working again. Awesome video!

Thanks it worked ! Had checked some websites & no mention of this. Sure if I called a plumber, ‘Oh you need a new punp installed for $400’ 😊

I never leave comments, but this time I had to! Thank you so much!! When we had no water, I panicked. I came across this video. I did exactly what you said to do, (& spent just a few minutes) & we now have water! This just saved us hundreds of $. THANK YOU!🙂

your video literally just saved me $160. I can't say thank you enough. all it took was your 2 minute video and a little sand paper

Thanks . You just saved me a 40 mile round trip (at 7:00am) and who knows how how much for a plumber. I will get a new one as a backup. Thanks again.

Thank you man, I watched 5 other videos and was about to replace my pump. This fixed it!

YOU ROCK!!! I just saved a ton of money thanks to you!! Exactly what happened with our pump, and I can't thank you enough! I subscribed for future problems.

Straight and to the point! You’re the best!!

Thank God for you man. Saved me a service call and now I can use the toilet tomorrow.

Thanks! The contact points didn't look that corroded but I sanded them anyway and it worked. The water came back!

Many Thanks Bill for sharing this info!!

Thanks for this video brother! Woke in a panic, you simply solved my problem,God Bless you🤙🏽

Thank you, during a Pandemic, I wasn't thrilled about having a plumper in my house. Followed your video, problem solved. Thank you!

worked like a charm brother god bless you from Ohio

Excellent advice. Money saver.

Thank you got my water back and off to the store to buy a new one appreciate the video

Thanks for the video. Is my first time using this system and I came home and I was out of water. I tried your tip about to clean the contacts and worked. Thanks.

Can't thank you enough - it is Sunday, tomorrow is a public holiday, water pump quit. Looked at the sensor, gave it a smack and boom - pump started again. Will replace on Tuesday. Many thanks Sir!

Thank you so much Bill 👍🏽💪🏽🙏🏽

Dude, you just saved me a few grand easy. Last time I called the well company for a similar issue, they replaced the pump and charged me almost $5,000. Oh, that fixed it BTW. I got it running.

Awesome! Thanks for the help, my pump works again!

Was in the shower when the water stopped flowing. Checked the breaker, looked at the pressure switch, had power and didn't see anything wrong. This isn't something I've worked on before. Looked at the contacts, used some sandpaper to clean them, and I've got water again. Thank you for this. I'll get a new pressure switch asap, but now I can at least finish my shower.

This was the trick! Pump is on again thank you!

Thank you so much for the information! My water wasn't running so I checked the gauge and it was at zero. I just tapped the black box and the water came back on. I'm calling the plumber in the morning and will ask him to replace this part.

Thanks a mill Bill. Saved my ars.

Great video! I followed the instructions. No carbon, but the entire contact was clogged with ants! Cleaned them out, works great. Saved me about $200.

Bill thanks very much, I cleaned the contacts and "YES" it startted backup

Straight to it! Brilliant cheers buddy 👍

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! I just moved onto an acreage with a water well, and it suddenly stopped working. I thought it was froze up because it was -20 outside and the heat lamp in the cellar wasnt working. But after warming it up, i had no pressure. I have never seen a water well or pump or pressure switch before but i figured it was electrical issue with pump. After i watched ur video I, i went and turned off the breakers, cleaned the connection faces, and realized it was the switch spring was just kinda stuck open. anyways, that fixed it! All thanks to ur video. Saved me from calling out a technician.

-7 here in Central New York this morning. Thought for sure we had a frozen well pump but tried your recommendation and we're good to go! Thanks!!

Sir, you are a hero!!! Thank you!

This worked!! Must be pretty common! Thanks Bill!!

Thanks for the tip 👍🏼

Eagle Runner Bill if your ever down in Louisiana I’m buying the ribeye and beers,You the man!Thanks so much for the posting saved my A$$

Thank you sir! The most helpful video by far!

This did the trick!!!! Thank you!

Helped me out a lot! THANK YOU

Nicely explained

Thank you very much. It didn't look dirty at all but it worked. I thought my pipes were froze since it was 30 below last night

Thanks! Worked like a charm, now my wife isn't going to kill me!!!!!!!

Thank you so much! This helped me resolve my problem!! So grateful for your video!! 😄👌👍💥💞

WHOO HOOOO!!!!!!! The whole house is hollering for joy right now!!!! You just saved us some money!!!!!! Thank you so much for this video. It was great. Easy to understand. We were terrified about working around the electricity, but we turned it off, found out that we had TWO sources of electricity to the switch, and got them both off, and then very slowly proceeded. When it worked, we felt like we had won the lottery! Thank you SO much for this video. Hopefully, you have more videos and we will watch them all!!!!!!!

Thank you it really help a woman and I went to use something plastic and it worked
