Why are we checking the fuse and bypassing the pressure switch?

Why?

To identify if the pressure switch is faulty


Why?

Because if  the pressure switch is faulty, it can be bypassed to allow us to continue working until we get chance to replace the pressure switch


Why?

Replacing the pressure switch is cheaper than replacing the pump.


CAUTION: With the pressure switch bypassed, the pump will not shut off

If you're lucky enough to have a controller fitted to your system. 


The Big Brain IQ Controller is reading the status of the pump letting you know the pressure switch is activated. 


This lets you know you have power to your pump.


But the pressure switch is activated (likely a faulty pressure switch)
