I am making some changes to our plumbing because our well is a low yielding well. We have a 1500 gallon cistern that has been supplied by rainwater up to this point. The tank was cleaned and a line from our well ran to the cistern. There had been a pressure tank inline with a low pressure cut off previously.
I took the pressure tank out and wired in a pumptec to control the pump for when the well pumps dry. There is a float switch in the cistern for when it’s full.
My issue is that my pumptec does not seem to sense when the well is dry and shut power off to the pump. The pump flows water for 2.5 minutes then the well is dry, the pump continues to run and the pumptec appears to do nothing. Thanks in advance for ideas and suggestions
