Hi all. Got a NEW well drilled yielding only 1.5 GPM. I’m in the process of setting up layout/plumbing.
1/2HP, 220V pump (2 wire) in the 240’deep well.
Have a CYCLE SENSOR to add in setup to combat dry run.
Basic setup… 1” poly line coming from pitless to house, then into 200 gallon poly holding tank cistern. Then H2O pumped from cistern via jet pump to filters and then house lines. The cistern will have a float switch to tell the well pump when to kick on and off. Also a second lower float switch for the jet pump dry/low water shut off protection. (probably SJE RHOMBUS types).
I have 12/2 wire (20A, double pole 220V) coming from panel to the wall area for the CYCLE SENSOR/pump.
I do want to include a H2O2 injection (Stenner) on the incoming line from well, but B4 the cistern tank. (so the peroxide has a bit of time to work and sit B4 going into filters, etc.)
Questions:
1). Does the float switch for the well need to be a 220v type? And how does it tie into the CYCLE SENSOR unit as far as wiring goes? Must I need some sort of relay in this setup?
2). Does the STENNER pump need to be a 220V model?
3). As far as the CYCLE SENSOR is concerned, is there a way to wire the float switch AND the STENNER injection pump all working in conjunction? I want the float switch to tell the well pump when to kick on AND ALSO tell the STENNER pump to start running for the peroxide injection at the same time.
If I need to, I can consider a FLOW SWITCH installed on the incoming line that will signal the STENNER pump to turn on, but I would rather avoid that expense and I’m not sure I trust the longevity of a magnet type flow switch. https://www.flowswitch.org/
Any options I may have missed?
THANKS!
