Here are my suggestions for adjusting the pressure on a SureFlo water pump.
- You don’t need to take the pump out of the camper – or take the pressure switch apart!
- Look for the small Allen screw on the top of the pressure switch. It is located near where the wires are attached to the pump.
- Turning clockwise will result in a more sensitive switch (more likely to cycle by reducing the pressure)
- Turning counterclockwise makes the pump less likely to cycle as it increases the pressure
- Use your shower and determine when the pump cycles
- Turn the Allen screw counterclockwise until the pump no longer cycles while the shower is fully on (the pump should remain on while you are taking a shower, and turn off when you shut the shower fixture)
- If the pump does not turn off when the shower is off you have turned the Allen screw to far counterclockwise.
Usually it is not necessary to adjust the bleed valve as its purpose is to keep the pump from hammering at high pressures and low flows.
