What is the definition of when a water pump is short cycling?
I have a 200 ft. deep well with a 1 hp Grundfos submerged pump and an 80 gallon pressure tank without a diaphragm. With the pump shut off at 57 psi I open one cold water faucet in my house and leave it open. The the water runs for 2 minutes and 53 seconds with the pump off until the pressure goes down to 25 psi then the pump turns on for 17 seconds until the pressure gets back up to 57 psi with the faucet still open. Then the cycle repeats.
Is this a good run time or a short cycle?
