    Pressure switch problem or something else???

    Ok, don't sure what I'm looking for, but I will take pictures and post them if needed. The motor even with cycle on/off it works and brings my water pressure to 60lbs eventually. I know this will reduce life of motor since every start is what wears down the motor. Ciao... Sergio

    Do I really need 2 furnaces?

    Advantages of 2 systems Here are some advantages of having 2 systems: 1. You can have better control in attaining the correct temperature on each of your zones or floors ( I will assume, Furnace 1 is for main floor and basement, and Furnace 2 for 2nd floor). 2. You will have better CFC's...

    Pressure switch problem or something else???

    Thanks for pointers. I will one day lift it up and take a picture for us to review. If it is blocked up with lake stuff it may be some relief where I do not have a bad wire or bad motor. Not sure what it will cost to treat water, but my lake system cost me: Grundfos motor (liquidation deal)...

    no mixing intended, just a backup source Redwood, no mixing intended, I have proper check valves on each line to prevent mixing. I'm looking into what Gary mentioned regarding the use of a <<double back flow prevention device>> which is a double check valve. I wanted to put a manual...

    Pressure switch problem or something else???

    Pressure switch ok and fuses ok Guys, Here is the update: 1. We bypassed the pressure switch to see if problem still exists by going to a direct connection, and yes the motor still runs for 2 seconds only and then restarts after 20 seconds repeatedly 2. We replaced fuses, and problem...

    Pressure switch problem or something else???

    Guys, thanks for replies. I just talked to my electrician and he thinks that the fuses in panel may be weak therefore not giving full amperage to motor. Electrician thinks that since I pulled the fuses from lake panel to well panel 4-6 times, this may have damaged or weakened the fuses...

    Pressure switch problem or something else???

    valveman, the pressure switch is connected (closed??) at all times, so it should be sending the power to motor. Not sure why motor is going starting for 2 seconds, and then stopping for 20 seconds in a repeat fashion. Once reservoir hits the cut-off setting (60psi), the contacts are then...

    Berkeley well pump 3/4 10gpm pump

    I believe the water is found at 180 and well digger suggested that pump be dropped at 160 or 165ft. What is the price of Betta Flo? Should I set a target of 55PSI and 15GPM as a min requirement for my needs? This is what the city sets as a target for each household. Thanks... Sergio
