Need help. I am new to the working of Well and Pump system. We moved into this house which has well system. The pump and the control valve is less than 2 years old.
The setup is as below. My well and my house is 200 feet apart and my house is at an elevation difference with 100 ft higher.
The setup is as below:
- The Pressure tank is at the house
- Pressure Switch is near the well pump :
- Distance between the pressure switch and the pressure tank is 200 ft
- Pressure Switch : Cut in 130 Cut Out : 150
- Pressure Tank : 40 PSI
I was told by the installer that the difference in pressure setup is due to elevation difference.
The pressure control valve keep tripping.
I spoke to the well guy and he indicated that the setup is wrong and that there has to be a pressure tank next to the pressure switch in order to make
sure that the pump does not cycle too often. with the current setup the pump cycles a lot when it reaches the Cut in.
Any guidance on what could be wrong is helpful.
