Practical tips for installation and use:
- Ensure the system is depressurized before installing or removing the switch and use Teflon tape on NPT threads to seal joints.
- Confirm that your pump and pressure tank are rated for the 30–50 psi range to avoid abrupt cycling or insufficient pressure in zones like irrigation or showers.
- Position the switch in a dry, accessible location to monitor for any signs of leakage or wear during routine maintenance.
- If certification requirements are strict for your application (e.g., certain municipal or commercial installations), factor in the absence of UL/CSA listings when planning replacements or upgrades.
