New utilitec pump cuts on and off, won't hold pressure
I do not know your system however it sounds like it is on a well system. If so the pressure tank is water bound and needs to be drained. There is a air regulator that needs repair or replacement. I am just taking a guess.

I have a pump #WO313834UTPQP1W
Hi Tata,
There is no match appearing across the web for that identification number of your pump. There may be character missing or swapped. Please verify the support information.
Here is a link offering the pumps at replacement cost which may be more viable looking at the price and effort you may invest in the repairs. Take a look.

Pump does not hold pressure
Sounds line a problem with the water source. A lot of information is needed to answer your question such as model number etc.

Problem with pump?
The pump pressure switch should be checked to see what the ON-OFF pressure is set at. Typically the pressure switch is set for 20-40 psi, or 30-50 psi. The pressure tank should be purged as well. With the pump OFF, and the tank drained of water, the air valve on the tank should read approximately 2 psi below the "on pressure". So if the system operates at 20-40, the tank should be pre-charged to 18 psi. If water escapes from the air valve, the internal bladder in the tank is ruptured, and the tank needs to be replaced. A tire air gauge is used to measure the pressure in the tank after the water is emptied from the tank.. A tire air pump or a compressor is used to charge the tank. if a compressor is used, be careful not to over-inflate the tank, as this may cuase the bladder to rupture.

Pump not holding presure
If you have a bladder - type water pressure tank, it probably needs to be purged of air and then pre-charged to 18 psi. There may be directions on the side of the tank. Turn the water Pump off. Drain the tank of water. Check the pressure of the tank at the air valve on top of the tank. The pre-charged pressure of the bladder is set to 2 psi below the lower pressure set by the pressure switch, so in your case, the low end pressure is 20 psi. Therefore, the pre-charge pressure of the tank is 18 psi. If you set the pressure switch to operate at 30 -50 psi, then the pre-charge pressure would be 28psi., etc. Once the pre-charge pressure is set, turn the pump back on. ( don't forget to close the drain valve). The system should cycle normally. A tire gauge works to check the tank pressure. An air compressor may be used to charge the tank, but be careful not to over- inflate the bladder. A tire air pump may also be used. Hope this helps....
