I just pulled a submersible pump from some property I recently bought. While trying to barrel test it, the pump will kick on and pump water for a few seconds and then stop pumping.
I still have the 80 feet of pipe installed on the pump just as it was pulled. I have this 80 feet of pipe in a big loop to get to the electricity and the barrel. There is no pressure switch and I just wired it directly to a breaker to test it.
It is a Webtrol pump made by Franklin Electric 3/4 HP and 230V. I guess I was expecting it to keep pumping since its getting juice constantly. (no pressure switch) Am I correct that it should keep pumping or is it doing what it should?
