Thank You for the link to Lakos Sand Filtration. The well guy only does installations but commented the first tank was full of sand, the second tank was about half full, the third was waterlogged and tanks 4 & 5 were about a quarter full of sand. These were 44 gallon Amtrol tanks and every tanks...

Five pressure tanks were replaced on a shared well and I was informed by the well technician who did the work "there was a lot of sand in the old tanks". The control box was also replaced. I know the pump is next but my question now is: Should the 5 homes on the shared well be checking their...

When you click the pressure switch points On and Off it eventually works but you hear a humming sound during the time when it doesn't work. Is there a run capicator in the control box that is not working? Check all the componets in the control box with a multi meter, one that can check the mFd...

Could the tube have gotten some debris inside it that is making the switch pressure flucuate causing the false starts?

Based upon what you said, replace the pressure switch. You could try filing the contact points so they all (8) make a better connection but this would be a temporary fix. If your pump continues to short cycle like it is you will be replacing the pump and the control box too.

You may have a Pressure Switch that has a Low Pressure cut-out safty feature built into it. If your pressure switch is a Square D the model number ends with M4 if the switch has a low pressure cut-out built into it. If the switch has a low pressure cut-out you need to hold the switch lever in...

What has been affected when the psi of the bladder in the pressure tank is 10 psi lower then it should be? The pump cuts in at 42 psi and cuts out at 60 psi. The bladder has 30 psi in it. What will this do? The gauge has been checked against another and it is reading correctly. Thank You for...

Is the shower demanding such a large amount of water that the pump can't get the pressure tank up to 70 psi when someone is in the shower? Does the pump cut out when the gauge is stuck at 60 psi or does the pump continue to run in order to keep up with the demand from the shower? You may need a...

Could your pump be pumping all the available water in your well's aquifer down to a point where it's dry? and the well's aquifer needs time to recover to fill with water again.You may need to install a small storage tank to keep up with your demand. When you reduced the pressure on the control...

Its the Pressure Tank that forces the water through out your home. The submersible pump fills the pressure tank when the tanks psi goes down to 30 psi,l when the tank reaches 50 psi the pump turns off. The Control switch is a 30/50 psi. You cannot pressurize water like you can air. Its the...

The phone will go to voice mail if the phone battery is dead, turned off, wet or even destroyed. When the service is turned off there would be no more voice mail. It might be possible to locate the phone using the GPS locater which is built into the phone it has a battery back up and most...

Square D offers a pressure control switch that can include an automatic pump cut off in the event the pressure drops 10 psi below the cut in pressure. Will the cut off option provide reasonable protection for the pump against dry well pumping conditions? Is 10 psi below the normal cut in...

Thank You Travis. I think the range on the control switch has been adjusted upward. By lowering the pressure in the other 4 tanks would this result in being able to store more water in those 4 pressure tanks?

Hello :) We have 5 eighty six gallon Pressure Tanks connected in parallel with a Square D 30/50 psi control switch. Should all 5 tank bladders be set at 28 psi. Would it be better to set the psi on the the first or last tank in the chain at a different psi level? Currently each tank has the...
