My flotech pool pump stops
Check all of your electrical connections. It could be intermittent within the pump itself but unless you are familiar with electricity; do not attempt to repair it yourself. There are certain ways that pumps are assembled and sealed properly.
The switch has failed on
Did you note to where the 5 wires were attached to the old switch? Does the switch resemble the other less a terminal? No instructions with the new switch?
Pressure fluctuates
There must be a hairline crack to where it is only noticeable when the pump starts to run creating a vacuum.
How to clean a sink flotec pump

These holding tanks are pre charged with air which in turn pressurizes the water. The tank has a bladder and an air valve on top. The pre charge ,over time, loses pressure, and the tank has to be pressurized again.
- The well pump needs to be turned off.
- The water has to be drained from the tank
- Air is put into the tank from the air valve on top of the tank, and is measured with a tire air gauge.
- The pre charge pressure is set to two psi below the pump cut in pressure.
- In other words if your pump kicks on at 30 psi, the pre charge pressure is set at 28 psi. If the pump kicks in at 20 psi, the pre charge is set at 18psi, etc.
- After you pressurize the tank, turn water back on.
- If water comes out of air valve on top of tank, then the bladder is ruptured and you need a new tank.
- Hope this helps!
