The pump will not start
Water demand increases, but the pump does not respond as expected.
Pressure Switch Repair
Pump starting at the wrong time? Check the pressure controls.
A pressure switch helps tell the well pump when to start and stop. Intermittent water, continuous running, or a pump that will not start can point to the controls—or another connected fault.
Leave electrical controls closed and call Duckett for diagnosis.

Recognize the change
Signs the pressure switch or controls need a closer look.
Control symptoms overlap with pump, tank, wiring, and supply problems. A proper assessment helps separate them.
The pump will not stop
The pump continues running after pressure should have recovered.
Intermittent water
Water service cuts in and out without a clear fixture-related cause.
Corrosion or heat damage
Visible external deterioration near the control calls for professional assessment.
Pump not responding? Call Duckett.
(864) 209-9360Keep the electrical enclosure closed and tell us what the water system is doing.
What we can help with
Trace the control signal.
Confirm the real fault.
The switch responds to pressure, but the pump, tank, power supply, and piping influence what happens next.
Pressure switch diagnosis
Assess whether the switch is responding correctly to changing system pressure.
Cut-in and cut-out behavior
Observe when the pump starts and stops relative to pressure changes.
Control connections
Inspect accessible, de-energized components for deterioration or loose connections.
Tank interaction
Check whether tank behavior is contributing to unusual switch cycling.
Switch repair or replacement
Explain the appropriate control work after the cause is identified.
Small control, important job
The switch responds
to system pressure.
A pressure switch does not work alone. Gauge readings, tank condition, pump response, and safe electrical checks all help clarify the fault.
At the pressure controls
The gauge and enclosed switch show when the pump should be called to run.
At the pump supply
A control symptom can still originate elsewhere in the connected well system.
What to expect
Safe checks. Clear control options.
Tell us what changed
Call or request service and describe the water flow, pressure, sounds, and when the problem began.
Understand the cause
A technician evaluates pressure, tank behavior, pump response, and the control components using appropriate electrical precautions.
Agree on the next step
Review the findings, available work, and pricing before repair or replacement begins.
Common related problems
A switch symptom
may have another cause.
Describe exactly when the pump starts, stops, or fails to respond.
Talk to Duckett
Pump does not start
The switch is one possibility; power, wiring, pump, or supply conditions may also matter.
Pump runs continuously
Continuous running can involve control settings, pressure loss, pump performance, or water supply.
Intermittent operation
An inconsistent signal may come from worn controls or another changing system condition.
Burned or corroded contacts
Internal electrical components should be assessed by a technician with power safely controlled.
Short cycling
Fast cycling often requires checking both the switch and pressure tank.
Pressure gauge concerns
A faulty or misleading gauge can complicate control diagnosis.
