A centrifigal pump is subjected to the greatest load when it is pumping at the maximum flow rate it is capable of supplying... -

The motor will run cooler when the pump is restricted as the amps will be lower. As a matter of a fact the amps will probably be low...

s10010001 replied to the thread Help setting Cycle Sensor Current (tank fill setup).Ohh lol I didn’t know that about motor vs pump haha. I only have one picture of the entire pump, the top looked like just a bunch of...

MS402 is the motor, not the pump. the pump only has to work to push the water from the top of the water to the output, plus any...

s10010001 replied to the thread Help setting Cycle Sensor Current (tank fill setup).Pump is a Grundfos ms402, installed in 2023, to replace a 19 year old Franklin. My logic tells me some restriction prevents overspining...

s10010001 replied to the thread Help setting Cycle Sensor Current (tank fill setup).Ok thanks for the info. I have been playing with timing and 4 hours seems about right. I get about the same amount of water once in 4...

A little longer run time at reduced amperage is always better for the pump/motor than short run times at high amperage. Remember there...

A setting of 6 is probably ok. As long as it shuts off and says DRY when the water stops coming. But it looks at that for about 10...

s10010001 replied to the thread Help setting Cycle Sensor Current (tank fill setup).Yeah, I have it on six right now, but I feel like the pump is running dry a little longer than it needs to, I will try eight tonight...

0.95 x 9 is 8.55. So maybe try 8.5. See if you get your two minutes or so after a suitable wait. What wait are you using?

s10010001 replied to the thread Help setting Cycle Sensor Current (tank fill setup).Once I start it, the amps climb to 10ish, it runs for a bit then when the water stops flowing the amps drop steep. So shouldn’t see the...

100 gallons in a few minutes is really drawing on a low producing well. I would put a ball valve on the line to the storage tank and...

It is always best to develop the well by pumping hard or blowing with air to get the sand out. If that is not possible then restricting...
