[Shop-talk] Water pressure question

The pressurizer at my in-law's summer house had
separate cut-in and cut-out adjustments.  They had
been set too close together, so the pump was starting
and stopping every couple of seconds.  I guess yours
could have the opposite problem.

Once I removed the cover on the pressure switch, the
adjustments were pretty obvious.
