Can you use a pressure switch without a pressure tank?
We recommend having a pressure tank particularly when you have a shower or a toilet where the pump is rarely operating at 100%. Without a pressure tank or accumulator tank the strain will be on your pressure switch/controller, which may cause it to fail early at an inconvenient moment.
How do you test a 12 volt water pump?
Connect the 12v water pump to the power supply again. Don’t worry if water is not connected – the pump can run dry for a short period as you only need to turn it on for a few seconds to test. If the pump motor runs, disconnect immediately from the power supply.

What if I don’t have a pressure tank? Pumps will work without a pressure tank, as there are automatic pumps fitted with a constant pressure controller so these pumps start and start on demand. We recommend having a pressure tank particularly when you have a shower or a toilet where the pump is rarely operating at 100%.
Can I run my well without a pressure tank?
You can run a well pump with a pressure tank. The purpose of a pressure tank is to keep the water pressure at a constant level. Without the pressure tank, your well pump needs to work harder and can go into a cycling state where it turns on and off quickly and constantly.
How far should pressure tank be from pressure switch?
12″
Always have at least 12″ of pipe from the main line to the tank. Install the pressure switch tap on a tee at the end of this length of pipe as close to the tank as possible.
What size well pressure switch do I need?
For a single level home or a two story home without water fixtures on the 2nd floor a 30/50 PSI setting may be sufficient. For two or more levels with water fixtures on more than one level you may want to use 40/60 PSI setting. It’s easier for a pump to supply the lower pressures and it’s less strain on old plumbing.
What is the best 12V water pump?
The Seaflo 42 Series 12V Water Pump is our pick for the best 12-volt RV water pump because it delivers variable water pressure, reduces cycling, and can be run dry without you worrying about potential damage.
How can you tell when a pressure switch is bad?
How to Tell if The Pressure Switch is Failing
- There is no water and the pump doesn’t turn on at all.
- The pump keeps cycling.
- The pump is working but the water pressure is weak.
