Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I cannot identify the pump size other than its a franklin control and when its running its pulling about Thanks for the response. I wish I knew what pump was down there. All I know is that it is single phase 230v, that draws about 10 amps per leg after...

Sorry for the confusion. I had recently installed a second pump for irrigation only to give our domestic well a break and i was mixing the two up. The setup in question is a 1hp submersible in a 500 foot well with the pump set at 125'. Static at 72' , and, in fact, recent test showed 13.5 first...

I dont follow? No 50/70 switch here. Are you suggesting if I put in a csv with a smal PT that i would need a 50/70 switch to.maintain a constant 6o psi? Pump.meets my.needs as is, just dont want the 42 psi drop.

.....ya, that would.probably be really hard and the bladder with the increased pre charge...

Unfortunately I have no room for a storage tank. I think i.might create a " test site" install a csv and a small PT (10gl?). And bypass my 86 gl PT. I.monitor power so I can compare years of pump data with a month or two of power usage with a csv. I dont think.the well.will ever run dry. Its...

Was done with my current pump. Just to clarify, my PT is 86 gl with 40/60 switch and 21.5 drawdown.

Sorry for the delay. A couple things- I confused my other pressure tank with this one. This one is actually an 86 gallon with a drawdown of 21.5 gl with 40/60 switch. Also, hard to catch the 1 second psi after cut in while turning water off at same time, but at cut in i saw 42 psi and a couple...

I will check the timing and get back. Yes, the pre charge pressure is set correctly. What i dont like about my setup is a drop in pressure when taking a shower and someone else takes one at the same time, or runs the dishwasher, or waters the flowers outside or etc. Its strictly a personal...

Ya, trying to wrap my head around this. With better mousetraps there always seems to be some controversy or pushback/skepticism. I would rather not pull the PT for a10 gallon and find that I am dissatisfied for some reason, like not knowing that without the 14 gallon " reserve" that I may have a...

Hi All- So, domestic well, 1hp submersible, 509 feet deep. Recent 4 hour test, produced 13.5 gpm then dropped to 7.5 for the remaining three hours. Pressure tank (56 gl) at 50/70. Three people in house. I like good pressure showers and so do the other two and often at the same time so there is a...

Crickets, I hope everyone is having a good holiday!

Hello all, thanks in advance for your input. I have a large pump house that is shared with another party that provides canal water for irrigation. This "water box" is 135 feet downhill slope from my property so best guess the 1.5" pvc pipe to the pressure tank is about 325 feet long. The pump...

Excellent! Thank you!

I think so!

Really appreciate the informative responses! The water was tested by a local well driller outfit that sends it out. PH for raw tested at 7.2, conditioned, 7.0 (before removing that other tank) I changed settings per your recommendations and attached pics. I need to clean the brine tank and...

Thank you all for the responses. The salt setting us 3.5. The tank measures 10 x 36". Thank you all for the responses. The salt setting is at 3.5. The tank measures 10" x 36", ( one cubic foot?). I had a basic mineral analysis done comparing raw well water to conditioned water and the results...

Would someone be kind enough to decipher these settings? I'm noticing a lot of salt use and very soft water all of the sudden after removing a very old pre filter ahead of this softener on a well supply. Three people in house and hardness is about 6 grains. Thanks in advance.

Is this the port you were referring to?

Sorry, thought i was clear in initial post. I was wanting to put a hose bib in after the soft water exclusively for cleaning solar panels as the current outside hose bibs are directly off well before any filtering and the well water leaves a lot of water spots that are difficult to get off of...

I'll have to check for a port. The water off the well, before filtering is pretty good, no iron issue or discoloration at all. Tastes fine, very little sediment in filter when I change it. After the softener all is fine. Biggest issue is water spots from pre filter directly from well. I'm really...
