    New 2-wire submersible pump won't start. Measures 120kohm from power to ground.

    Below is a photo of the kit I have. Is it OK to install the pressure switch where shown, downstream from the CSV? The CSV install instructions specifically says not to do this, i think. But isn't the pressure going to be identical anywhere downstream from the CSV? If so, why would it matter if...

    New 2-wire submersible pump won't start. Measures 120kohm from power to ground.

    Ok thanks. Is the check valve simply unnecessary, or does it actually interfere with the CSV performance?

    New 2-wire submersible pump won't start. Measures 120kohm from power to ground.

    Ok thanks. BTW I'm putting in a Cycle Stop Valve too instead of replacing the failed 34gal tank. The kit came with a check valve. Should I omit the check valve? Another question: I'm wondering what to do with the WellMate Micronizer air injector that was installed just before the gunked up...

    New 2-wire submersible pump won't start. Measures 120kohm from power to ground.

    Turns out the check valve inside house wasn't opening because of iron clogging. The pump seems to work fine after replacing the check valve. But I'm still puzzled by the 120kohm reading. Is that really ok? Shouldn't it be infinite resistance, ideally? Could this indicate degraded insulation of...

    New 2-wire submersible pump won't start. Measures 120kohm from power to ground.

    Hi I just finished installing a new replacement 2-wire submersible pump and it won't start. It's a 230v 3/4hp Red Lion pump which has a franklin electric motor. I'm getting voltage Ok to the pump, measured at the pressure switch. Line to Line resistance between power wires is 4ohms, measured...

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
