Trying to figure out this older rainbird system at a home I just purchased. I know just enough about irrigation to be dangerous and my basic understanding is that a wire from the controller to each zone's solenoid exists to turn on each zone... seems simple In this case I have 4 zones that all...

Lost my Meyers pump to the freezes last winter and just put in a new shallow jet Schaefer versajet 1 hp made by Franklin elec The system worked fine before and fine after I primed and installed the new pump. The weather is heating up and I started to run sprinklers which was the longest the...

thanks, its only a year or two old. Ill check around those places I actually just got up with Pentair/Meyers and they do sell parts and were very helpful aside from the fact that the part is more than the entire pump was new.

I have a cracked casing for meyers HJ100s, though I had it drained but apparently not. Its only the outer side the well pipe connects to. Whats the deal with not being able to find parts easily for these things? A few sites want more than I paid for the entire pump for a new casing. Is the...

Get a new pump, its most likely got bad seals or a bad impeller if its old, jet could be clogged as well. Also when you alter your pressure switch setting you have to reset the pressure in the tank to match, approx 2psi less then the switch on pressure. There may be replacement parts...

Im cracking my failed pump open to take a look and I can't even get the diffuser off to inspect the impeller. I dont know if they are all similar but mine is a dayton 1.5 hp (Grainger's Brand). The diffuser is threaded so im assuming its screwed onto the shaft. Is there a normal procedure to...

Yea it is 2" sorry i had the pleasure of removing my friends drop pipe from his deep well b/c his casing was cracked, now i see the difference thanks!

sounds like we are in about the same situation if it worked before you replaced the pump and tank then its probably an issue with the way you put it back together. From what i have gathered you have to have all connection completely butted and sealed on the suction end. also do you have foot or...

thanks, thats what i thought friend has a deep well jet pump i think with 2 draw pipes, would that make a difference also what does the ejector do?

This is probably a dumb one but does the well seal play any other part other than keeping debris from the well. Just had a buddy tell a shallow well will not hold prime without a complete seal. Also, my well has a 1 1/4 drop and the well itself barely fits the couplings for the 1 1/4 drop...
