Installation: 3/4hp 1phase 230volt 5gpm Submersible Pump (7years old) has an 1-1/4 inch outlet (non-metallic hub standard righthand threading). There is an 1-1/4 to 1 inch pvc reducing bushing attached to the outlet with 100 feet of 1 inch schedule 80 pvc pipe vertically in a 4inch casing and 200 feet horizontally in the ground to a 1500gal storage tank. The storage tank has a dedicated float switch for on/off control and a motor controller for starting, time delay, and protection of the submersible pump. There is one flow valve at the pump and one 20feet above it. The original torque arrestor is 2 feet above submersible pump and secure. There is a support cable for the submersible pump attached at the top of pump and secured at the top of well.
Checked: Voltage & Amperage to Motor Okay. Cleaned inlet to pump and temporarily installed pump in surface tank to verify operation. The submersible pump works but has a lower output than originally experienced. The torque looking at it from the top is clockwise to the rotation of the pump
Problem: The Submersible Pump unscrews itself from the 1-1/4 to 1 inch reducing bushing. This happened twice. The first time unknown and the second time within a week.
Solution: Pump Failing? Torque Arrestor Failing? Replace Pump Due To Reduced Output Which May Be Causing Additional Torque Problems? UNKNOWN SOLUTION???
