Ballvalve
General Engineering Contractor
200' deep 1hp [1.5?] 8' to 200' drawdown. 6" with 4" pvc liner, saw slotted, 1/8" minus.
Pumping it daily maybe 5] 40 gallon pulls.
WAS pumping muck and fine clay before the liner. Worked fine for 6 months after. No noticeable junk in the water now.
Pump has a full size control box with reset. resets kicking out.
On application of power, pulls locked rotor amps, about 35. Jog it a few times and you get the pump to run clean at 11.5 amps per line. red-yel-black wire ohm tests in range.
So I have a apparently in-spec pump that is locking up when idle.
Bad bearing? rock in impellers? Pull it out or?
