Hi folks, I am looking for some advice...I'll briefly explain my situation. I have a small ranch in New Mexico which has a water tower and a 3/4 hp submersible pump in the well. The well pump fills the gravity feed tower tank. I now want to plumb this system so that: 1) I can fill the tower...

You are going to kill that pump with 20 cycles per hour. It sounds like the bladder is gone on the pressure tank. You should have a schrader valve on the the tank. Turn the pump off and then relieve system water pressure. You should have about 2 lbs less pressure in the bladder than the cut-in...

I put in about 200' of french drain around the perimeter of my place and I used the flex tubing but I also put a sleeve over the pipe. It is a cloth sock that keeps most of the dirt out, but lets the water flow into the pipe.

I've always set the pressure in the bladder when all pressure is relieved from the tank (open a faucet and let 'er run empty) and the pressure pump is unplugged so it can't come on when you relieve the pressure. Then check the bladder pressure - I have always set it to 2 lbs less than cut in...

In my Nevada place, I have a dc setup which might interest you and help you with your problem. My place had a setup like you have described when I bought it...worthless. I then built the system below: In my well I have, at 130' (static water at 35'), a Shurflo 9300 series, 24 volt dc pump. I...

Bob...Thanks for the sketch...I can see the safety side of your drawing and that was the approach I was thinking of. My major problems are these: 1) I want to put in a system that will withstand years of being in the cistern (I'll pay more for better quality without blinking). I have done...

hi to everyone :) ! I need to control my well pump to fill my cistern (2500 gal plastic tank on a 30' tower). Currently I have a timer do it, but I need to automate the filling of the cistern by the amount of water in the cistern. Needless to say, I have no desire to go up on the tower any more...
