Can the pressure valve be modified
Are you able to adjust the pressure which the regulator turns on and off the motor? Could I have the pressure regulated at 40 (43 to be precise) psi.
Additionally, how does the pressure regulation work, is it a switch which is activated at a designated pressure or is it an analog signal?1 answer-
NorthstarExpert13· 11 years ago
The pressure switch reacts to outlet pressure, and interrupts power at the preset shut-off pressure indicated on the pump label. This should not be modified. A bypass regulator like the one listed below would be required to set the line pressure lower than the factory setting of the pump.
