    Spacing Multiple Points

    I currently have two well points spaced twenty feet apart and t'd near the center to my pump. So common math tells me each point is 10 ft away from the pump. If I wanted to add a third point, should I also make that one 10ft away or can I go a little further, say 15 feet. I want to make sure I...

    Pressure Tank Question

    Ok. This makes no sense to me. When the pressure tank is full of water the pressure is 50 psi, as the pump runs and the tank loses water the pressure drops. I thought as long as the pressure tank was full, the pressure stayed higher. Your logic, doesn't make sense to me.. I'm sure your...

    Pressure Tank Question

    Bob, It already has a pressure switch hooked up and rated at 40/60. I hooked this up and it has real good pressure until the tank runs dry of water then my pressure falls back to 32-34. I have a T coming out of the pump with a hose running to the pressure tank from the side shoot and then...

    Pressure Tank Question

    I have a 1hp shallow jet pump for my lawn irrigation. My buddy gave me a 40 gallon pressure tank (brand new), Would there be any benefit to hooking this up to my system? It's a 40/60 tank, my current pump pressure is about 32 psi. Could anything be gained by using this? If so, do I just run a...

    Pump Pressure - Problem or Normal

    I had a 2hp sprinkling pump on it and I don't think the well could keep up with the demand the pump was asking for. So I had the 1/2hp shallow jet in my garage and I hooked it up. How can I tell how much water the well can produce? It was roughly 9-10 gallons in a minutes time with the...

    Pump Pressure - Problem or Normal

    I have a 2 inch screened well approximatel 20 ft down. 6-8 feet of water in the pipe. Prime is great. I'm testing with a 1/2 hp Wayne Shallow well jet pump. Input is 2 inch galv to the union, then 1 1/4 galv into the pump. On my output I have a 3/4 T, pressure gage on one side, hose bib on the...

    Over Drawing my Point?

    What size pump would you recommend. I have an average of 5 heads per zone. Can a 1/2 hp pull enough water through a 2 inch well. Probably 5-6 feet of water in the pipe. All I have is a 2 inch galv pipe hooked to a 2 inch point driven in the ground. Is that a "screened well" as you mentioned

    Over Drawing my Point?

    I have a 2hp pump connected to my 2 inch well which is about 22ft down. My pressure keeps going up and down, I'm thinking lack of water. I have plenty of water in the point but not sure it can "refresh" itself fast enough for a 2hp pump. I have a extra 1/2 hp pump, could I hook that up to my 2...

    Convertible Jet Pump Question - I'm lost

    I have a Wayne CWS 50 Convertible Jet Pump with the nozzel to pump water less then 25 feet. I want to use the pump to drain the water from my swimming pool. What I did was put 1 inch coupling to a brass fitting that would allow me to connect a garden hose to the pump for intake and put a hose...
