Default Is this new?

Is this a new problem, or have you always had low pressure? A lot of the system components described, e.g. pump HP, pressure switch etc all work together, but if one thing was changed it affects all. For example if everything "used to work" and the 3/4 hp pump was replaced with a 1/2 hp pump, that might bring the symptoms you describe. If this has "always" been the standard, maybe the system is undersized for your current level of use? How old is the system/camp? Older systems with iron pipes instead of plastic fill up with rust. How long have you lived there? If you're newer, talk to your neighbors. Almost all islanders learn some plumbing/electrical/carpentry skills.
