I have an old home that currently has a well and only have tubing and wires coming in through the basement wall. I connected 220 to the pump and it runs for about 5 seconds then shuts off - it will then continue to cycle on/off on a pretty regular cycle. I have 2 plastic lines coming into the house along with the conduit holding the wires. I was told by a neighbor that the pump will cycle on/off if there is no back pressure - not sure if that is true or not. I purchased a holding tank and have been looking for a diagram that outlines how to set up a well water system and have not been able to find one. Can anyone explain to me how the system functions and how to properly set it up or does anyone konw of a website that I can go to to get the details.
Thanks
