I am new to this site, but have a question for you experts out there. I have a standard 2500 gal poly tank for storage. I have a 500' well, with a 1 hp pump. The pump is powered up by a float in my tank, which in turn picks up a contactor in my panel. This contactor then feeds power through a Franklin Pumptec and Franklin CRC capacitor start/run controller.
The well is a very low yield well, about 1 gpm. I am using this well again, only because my water table has dropped, causing my primary well to cycle. I am not generating enough water on my primary to meet my daily needs, so I have reserected this old well.
My problem is that the well pump continues to pump about 1/2-1 gpm. Even with the new Pumptec, the pump will not shut down. Is the 1/2 gpm still meeting the motor load requirements of the pumptec, so it thinks the motor is still okay? Should I put in an additional timing relay? Thanks, Terry
