This single unit replaced the pumptec and the Franklin control box.
other recommendations have been made by members,but this is all they had or would sell and in an emergency type job completion.
here are some pics of the aparattus.
Now I see the issue with choosing the 1/2 hp 230 volt motor. it runs longer,like a member said it would. Ive monitered it twice only and got 2 widley different readings .
it took my 1.5 hp pump 16 minutes to haul up about 256 gal
The 1/2 hp only pulls up 180+gal in 30 minutes.
So,less water and twice the electricity use approx ,it appears.
Another time it took 3 times longer.
I realize one or two runs are not really enough to be sure of accuracy,so Ill give it a few more.
My low producer well peaks in return gallons at 4 hr and averages vary about 250 gal which is a well production of about 1.1 gal per minute to as low as .78 gpm at 187 gal
The production varies within the same week.No other wells nearby in mountains terrain. Closest is 1/4 mile and no others.
Can any of you good enough in calculating the difference in the energy (elect) use between a 1.5 HP Gould deep sub pump and the one I have now
Goulds (5sb05412cl) 1/2 hp 1/60/230 3w 12 stg 4" sub
To my suprise,the booklet has no further info,but he is going to send me in the mail more info as I wasnt quick enough to remember to read the new pump befor it was installed.
i guess unttil I have more info on this and certainly on the old pump , you may not be able to calculate the usage differences,right?
if you need a closer view of the innards in the last pic let me know.
