    how to replace a submerged well pump

    Kendallroad My wife agrees with SpacemanSpliff. Just one more question before I surrender. How do you disconnect the 1 1/4 in. PVC pipe from the 1 in. poly line that goes underground to my house? I removed the well cap and saw the line that holds the pump. At that time, I did not move the...

    Square D well pressure switch

    My thanks to Wet Boots. I will leave well enough alone since it is working. If I hook up a booster pump to the same pressure control I believe I should follow the same convention. The total ( combined) load will be 1 hp and the switch has a capacity of 2 hp at 230volts. Kendallroad

    well pump priming problems...

    Priming problems Three feet of water is not enough. The well point screen is about two feet so that as soon as the pump starts the drawdown exposes the screen to air and the pump sucks in air and loses prime. Two options (1) drive the well to have 5 to 10 feet of water above the screen...

    well booster pump

    Kendallroad Wouldn't the extra pressure tank only increase the time that the well pump does not turn ? When the pump turns on it can only deliver water at its current capacity.

    well booster pump

    I have a 1/2 hp Goulds model 7GS05 pump. I believe that the pump is underpowered. the pump's output at 10 the psi is constant at 8+ gpm. At the normal 40 to 60 psi setting the pressure drops rapidly to 40 psi and will only deliver about 3 gpm and the pump runs constantly untill the faucet is...
