When I read your original post, Terry, I had the same question as Dennis: Does your water system have an accumulator? Say a gallon size or larger?
The accumulator is recommended by Jabsco, and is intended to smooth out pressure fluctuations (pulsing of the water flow) from the pump. But the behavior you cite is also typical if you have a larger accumulator. The water has to flow a few seconds or so before the pressure drops enough to turn on the pump motor.

Does the manual specify a "dead band"? That is, the pressures at which the pump kicks on and kicks off? Did you open the faucet full flow? Did the water flow appear constricted? Perhaps the combination of a large accumulator and a wide dead band is your issue. Might be perfectly normal operation for the pump and system configuration. Dennis C.

The new pump does not come on right way as it is supposed to, instead it takes 15 to 45 seconds for it to start. I thought it was a faulty pressure switch so I took the first new pump back and installed a second new pump. The same problem occurs. Any suggestions as to what the problem may be??
