Pumptrol FANWAYER Pressure Switch 30 to 50 PSI NPT

Description

Product Overview

The FANWAYER Pumptrol pressure switch is engineered to deliver precise water pressure control for well pump applications. Designed with a cut‑in setting of 30 psi and a cut‑off setting of 50 psi, it automatically starts the pump when pressure drops below the lower threshold and stops it once the upper limit is reached, protecting both the pump and the plumbing system from over‑pressurization. The unit features a 1/4‑18 NPT female inlet, allowing straightforward connection to standard pump fittings without the need for additional adapters.

Constructed from high‑grade materials, the switch offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring a long operational lifespan even in harsh environments. Its compact dimensions—8.35 x 4.72 x 3.62 inches—and lightweight design (1.8 lb) make it easy to install in confined spaces, while the adjustable internal mechanism provides flexibility for fine‑tuning pressure settings to match specific system requirements.

Manufactured by FANWAYER, a trusted name in industrial components, this pressure switch has earned a strong reputation reflected in a 4.7‑star rating from nearly 300 verified customers. It is ranked #8 in the Pressure Switches category on major e‑commerce platforms, underscoring its popularity among professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Usage

The Pumptrol pressure switch is ideal for a variety of water delivery systems, including residential well pumps, small‑scale agricultural irrigation setups, and commercial water supply units. It excels in environments where consistent water pressure is critical, such as garden watering, livestock troughs, and household hot‑water recirculation loops. By maintaining pressure within the 30‑50 psi range, the switch helps reduce energy consumption, as the pump only runs when necessary, extending motor life and lowering operating costs.

Installation is straightforward: connect the 1/4‑18 NPT female inlet to the pump’s discharge line, secure the electrical wiring according to local codes, and adjust the pressure settings using the built‑in screw mechanism. The switch is compatible with both AC and DC powered pumps, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications. Regular inspection and occasional cleaning of the inlet screen will keep the unit performing at peak efficiency.

FAQ

What types of pumps are compatible with this pressure switch?

The Pumptrol switch works with both AC and DC electrically driven water pumps that use a 1/4‑18 NPT inlet. It is suitable for residential well pumps, irrigation pumps, and small commercial water systems.

How do I adjust the cut‑in and cut‑off pressures?

Adjustment is made using the two screw‑type dials on the top of the unit. Turn the “cut‑in” screw clockwise to raise the activation pressure and counter‑clockwise to lower it. The “cut‑off” screw works similarly, allowing you to set the shut‑off point within the 30‑50 psi range.

Is the switch waterproof?

Yes, the housing is rated for indoor use and provides protection against moisture and dust, meeting industry standards for water‑resistant electrical components.

What warranty does FANWAYER offer?

FANWAYER provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If any issue arises within this period, contact our support team for a replacement or repair.

Can this switch be used in a solar‑powered pump system?

Absolutely. The switch’s low power consumption makes it compatible with solar‑powered pump setups, provided the pump’s voltage matches the switch’s electrical specifications.
