Another pressure switch question

Another pressure switch question - 09/22/22 01:10 PM

My well has a light connected to the pressure switch that used to come on when the pump was pumping. Sometime over the years the wire from the light to the pressure switch did not get reconnected to the the pressure switch when the pressure switch was replaced.

There are two wires from the light, but there are 4 connections on the pressure switch that could I can connect to. Does anyone know how to connect the wires from the light to the pressure switch?

Look on your switch and find the wire that goes to the pump, hook your light to that one, when switch goes together to turn pump on then light comes on too. You will also have a neutral on there to hook the other wire from your light to.

I was assuming you had 120v. If you have 240v then you may have to run your neutral to another neutral someplace. If you hook up both your hot and neutral of your light to both hots on a 240v your bulb will burn very bright and would probably not last full life.
