10-4 valveman. Hear ya loud and clear. I am going to go the route of the pump start relay. So to disconnect the pressure switch, do I just need to remove the tube that connects it to the pressure regulator? And do I need to physically remove it from the pump? Best I can recall it was integral...

Since this is purely to feed an irrigation system that is capable of delivering adeuate flow and pressure with a continuous running of the pump, I did not install a pressure tank. During irrigation, this tank would never fill to provide pressure. My zones are running at 10 gpm therefore this...

So I have just finished installing and calibrating my do it yourself irrigation system. And after a few days of flawless performance, my pump is now acting up. Let me caveat with I have a digital timer and solenoid valves where I should be able to run this fully automatic. But I have a small...

One thing I'm going to try is to remove the old pipe/packer/foot valve and replace it all. Didn't want to do this since it will be 100' of pipe but oh well. Seems to be the next logical step if I don't have something I can do on the pump itself. The well is 40 years old. No telling what...

First the data – I live on the coast in NC. I have a 2†well that was used for potable water for years until being annexed. I am converting this to an irrigation well. The well is 98’ deep. I recently installed a new Myers HJ100D – 1Hp pump and am getting 9 GPM at 35psi from an open...
