Here is my story, not a new one for you guys I am sure: old house, funky plumbing and wiring. Trying to sort it out piece at a time. Background: 220 submersible well pump, pitless adaptor, about 180 feet deep.
The pump wiring has the standard 30 amp 220 circuit breaker in the panel. This goes to a lever cut-off switch box by the pressure tank. This old box has 2 old-school Edison fuses (those glass ones that screw in, like a light bulb base). The wiring and the box look in good condition. I am thinking that there is no real purpose for the Edision fuses, correct? If I replace the wiring and get a new box, I can just get a regular double pole switch, right?
Probably a dumb question, just want to be sure.
Thank you!
