I have a 4" well with a Franklin 3HP s425-17XMV pump and a Franklin model 2823028310 control box. The two overload relays on the bottom of the control box keep tripping when no water is being used, but if you open a valve or turn on a sprinkler zone and then reset the relays, it will pump fine until you stop the water use. It ran a 6 zone sequence for over an hour with no problem. Short delay between zones did not cause it to trip. Once the valves are closed for a minute or so the relays trip again. Not sure how old the system is but nothing has changed since I bought the house 3 years ago. Worked fine until I put it back into service this week. Pump and control box are covered in a flower bed, and the pressure tank and pressure switch are under the house.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
