Wow! I'm glad I've never had an attitude like that. Maybe that's


why I was able to retire early.




If under $20 would have prevented you from retiring...


It was a SUGGESTION you dope. There are people who don't like


screwing around in electrical equipment.

so, one would not want to turn an adjustment screw, but they


wouldn't mind changing the entire pressure switch? sounds like a


professional to me - a professional who would be able to retire


early.




I thought of that afterward. The answer is to do as I did last time


I had to change mine. I wired it in with a length of romex (could


have used extension cord) on a plug so I didn't have to screw with


the hardwire problem. I have to occasionally pull the switch to


clean out the riser pipe.






Thanks, but I'll chose to just turn a friggin' screw.


Wiring a pressure switch in using a cord and plug would also seem
to be a violation of NEC. I wonder how ofter he changes his switches?


it also seems to be more work than just doing it right.
