What fails
Pressure tanks lose their air charge or the bladder. Pressure switches burn, stick, or get set where the pump cannot start. Plumbing at the tank tee leaks. On a constant-pressure system, a failed transducer and a failed tank show up on the same call.
Symptoms
- The pump short-cycles.
- No pressure at the house.
- The switch chatters or will not click in.
- Pressure dies a few minutes after the pump stops.
What we do
Pressure tank replacement, pressure switch replacement or adjustment, pressure-tank plumbing repair, transducer and tank replacement on constant-pressure systems, and pressure-loss diagnostics.
When to call
If the pump is clicking on and off every few seconds, or the gauge sits at zero and the switch will not start the pump, call or text. Voice (760) 440-8520. Text (760) 219-5877. Founded 2020. CSLB C-57 #1086994.

Questions we hear
Why does the pump short-cycle?
A waterlogged pressure tank is the usual cause. The bladder is gone or the air charge is wrong, so the pump starts and stops every few seconds. We look at the tank before we blame the pump.
The pressure dies a few minutes after the pump stops. What failed?
Often a pressure tank that will not hold, a check valve, or a switch that is set wrong. On a constant-pressure system it can be the transducer and the tank together.
Do you only replace the tank?
No. We replace tanks, replace or adjust pressure switches, repair pressure-tank plumbing, and replace the transducer and tank on constant-pressure systems. If the complaint is lost pressure, we diagnose before we sell a pump.
