This is a new one for me.
My pressure switch chatters (clicks on & off rapidly). At first it did it occasionally when the switch/pump engaged, then the pump ran normally. I cleaned the contacts but now it does this:
* when a small amount of water runs it chatters
* when a large amount of water runs the switch & pump turn on normally, but shut off immediately when I turn off the water
Pressure tank psi is good. I have a new pressure switch ordered, but wanted to stop the chatter in the meantime before the switch gets here. Any suggestions?
Added info - it’s a 220 volt well pump system
