Frequently Asked Questions / Amperage Drop
« on: December 29, 2022, 11:50:45 AM »
I recently bought the kit with everything that was needed preset to 45 psi and installed a new J7S pump. I was really sold on the amperage drop when using less water. I have a power meter installed and have never seen the wattage under 1200w. When it is running all out building pressure it is only running 1250, so not nearly the drop that I was hoping for. It also seems to be cycling off when running a fairly good stream of water, I haven't measured it but I'm fairly sure it is more than a gallon a minute. I also noticed that the pressure switch looks like it is turning the pump on at around 32psi and off only a few psi after it gets past the 45 psi constant pressure. I thought it was supposed be set at 35/55 for 45 constant, so am thinking the pressure switch may be set wrong.
