Low lift speed pulsates

High speed lift seems to work fine. What could be the problem?

Contactor chattering would be cuased by a low voltage situation. Monitor the voltage,at the contactor coil terminals,and see if you are losing positive(+) or negative(-) voltage. Then trace that circuit back to what controls it.

I should clarify. The pump contactor is cycling in and out. Could this be a pressure switch or were you thinking the pump was running all the time?

Hi Terry. Have you tested the relief pressure setting? Possible bad pump.
