All In One Pressure Switch Bundle

Are you using pressure for shutdown of your well pump?  We've simplified solar pressure shut-off systems and put it all together in one bundle! With just one click you'll have everything you need for your pressure switch system! 

Get the mechanical float switch to mount on the upper inlet of your tank. When the water reaches the float switch, it will close the valve, spiking the pressure in the pipe and activating your reverse action pressure switch down the line to turn the pump off. 

Square D brand like traditional AC pump pressure switches, just working in reverse electrically. These switches complete a circuit with 2 signal wires when the pressure is up to the setting. Those 2 signal wires run into and any RPS Solar Pump Controller (RPS 200, 400, 800 Pumps and RPS Pro Series) Set to 30/50 psi by default but adjustable. Remember each psi means 2.31ft of head on your pump. 

Since AC pump traditionally are powered on and off with a pressure switch located on a tank tee of a pressure tank, many times there are not signal wires setup underground between the well head and the storage tank. Not a problem. An alternative to wires is a pressure switch attached to the plumbing from the well head to the tank. At the pump you’ll need a check valve, and on the tank you’ll need a mechanical float valve (ball float that closes a 3/4″ or 1″ valve and shuts off water) that will spike pressure in the line when it closes. Somewhere along the line between the two you need a ‘Tee’ with 1/4" Male threaded nipple and a reverse action pressure switch to your pump controller.
