Re: Compressor Issue

One thing our team has found out if you have the pressure switch right off of the compressor or near it, every time the compressor strokes it creates pulses of high pressure which cause the pressure switch to turn on and off when it reaches near 120. What we did this year was have two pressure tanks before the switch to ensure that the raise in pressure is not pulses from every time the compressor strokes.
