Mitsubishi water pump

[sometime]

The water pump is used only for outside use, when the tap is turned on slightly the pump starts and continues every 2 seconds.

I changed the pressure switch for one I had from an old pump, made no difference.

Any ideas welcome

Waterlogged pressure tank.

 

Check the web for how to drain your particular unit.

Good to hear you survived 

More than one foreigner died from electrocution over the years when fiddling at the water pump.

Unplug is the holy commandment.

I've got the same pump. 

At times the tank fills with air. 

Remove air from tank 

 

With the pump running, loosen this cap to remove the air, you should hear the air escaping

The only electric shock I get is off the electric fence 8000 volt LOL, always very careful with the mains supply.
