To reset a private well system following a power outage or pressure switch lockout, follow a careful safety procedure. Step 1: Turn off the electrical power breaker to the well pump at your main panel to prevent shock. Step 2: Remove the cover from the well pressure switch mounted near the pressure tank. Step 3: Look for a low-pressure cut-off lever (often labeled "Start" or "Reset"), hold it down manually for a few seconds as pressure builds, and turn the breaker back on. Verification: Monitor the pressure gauge on the tank to confirm the pump engages and holds pressure.
