Installation Instructions:

• Install the pressure switch near the water pump for optimal performance and easy access.
• Connect to the appropriate 12V or 24V system using the included wiring connectors.
• Ensure the pressure setting matches the requirements of your water system. The switch activates the pump when the pressure reaches 70 PSI.
• Ensure proper sealing and connection to prevent leaks and ensure reliable performance.
• Regularly check the switch and system for proper operation, especially during peak usage periods.
• Test the system periodically to ensure the pressure switch is functioning correctly and adjust if necessary.

How the Pressure Switch Works:

• The Jabsco 18916-1070 Pressure Switch operates by sensing the water pressure in the system. When the pressure drops below the set point (70 PSI), the switch activates the pump.
• Once the pump reaches the set pressure, the switch turns the pump off to prevent unnecessary cycling, ensuring efficient operation and consistent water pressure.
• This cycle continues, allowing for efficient water delivery while preserving the life of your pump and system.
• It effectively minimizes water hammer and reduces unnecessary energy consumption by controlling the pump's operation based on pressure needs.
• The pressure switch is built with long-lasting materials that resist corrosion, making it ideal for use in both fresh and saltwater environments.
