You changed a water press contvalve from jet pump to water tank. Water is not going through systemto house fixtures after turning pump back on. Why not?

Did you "RE-PRIME" the pump after you changed the pressure control switch? A likely reason you are not getting water would be that the pump "PRIME" was lost when you changed the pressure control switch. Pump seals can be burned up quickly if you run a jet well pump with no prime (lost prime) and will cause them to leak around pump shaft.
