Low Pressure Cutoff Switch For Irrigation Pump

Without the use of the switch the water pump would always be on or off.

Low pressure cutoff switch for irrigation pump.

Pressure switches are used on water pumps for the accurate control of the pump as it produces pressurized water. In this video tutorial we explain how these switches work and the pros and cons in using them with your pump installation. Low pressure switch lps installs on the inlet side of the booster pump and will shut off the pump if the feed water is interrupted. The low pressure shut off switches are available with low pressure cut off point of approximately 8 to 10 lbs.

Switch remains closed at 5 psi or more when pressure drops below 5 psi switch will open and cut off the power to the pump. Low pressure cut off pressure switches turn the pumps off if the water pressure dips below 15 psi. Keep in mind that. You will need to use a pressure switch that works backwards from normal ones used for household water systems since you want the switch to shut off the pump at low pressure standard switches used on household water systems turn on the pump at low pressure some switches can be wired to work either way others can t.
