Custom water pump system problems
Need a good advice on this. I made a new system to put water in the house with filters everything is finished. Im getting the water from above ground 1200 gals tank, connections are on this order tank,water pump,check valve,pressure tank,filters,and it go to the house.Time to test, power the pump and it worked good but when it get pressure the water pump stop and start on/off on/off on faster cycles opened one valve in the house and the pump start working good again, look like when it get pressure start failing, a friend of mine say that the check valve must be between tank and pump, this is the problem that I want to fix, forgot to mention the pressure switch is on the the pump

What are the turn on and off pressures for your pressure switch and what is the air pressure in the pressure tank when the water system is totally discharged?

I believe you will need to install a pressure switch on the house side of the check valve and disconnect the one on the pump.
You also need to mount the pump solidly. If that line where to break from the tank to the pump..... you'd have a flood.

One problem is the check valve between the pressure switch and the pressure tank.
(slightly better performance) Install a new pressure switch under the pressure tank and decommission the pressure switch on the pump.
(May also work but from time to time the pump may stop before the pressure tank reaches cut off pressure) Move the pressure switch to be before the pump. This leaves an unbroken path from the pressure switch (in the pump) to the pressure tank.
