    Geothermal vacation setting

    I have a water to water open loop pump and dump geothermal system. When I go on vacation this summer I would like to shut the water off to the house. However that will turn the geothermal air conditioning off. It would be nice if I could shut the water off to the house, obviously to prevent any...

    I will look into that. Also what about something like this that's digital, I'm assuming it's two pole. I could wire it direct to L1 and L2 in the well control panel...

    Yeah, that's what I kinda thought too. I did see a configuration like this, but again how to also make the pressure switch connection. What about just installing another contactor? Unfortunately I do not have Wi-Fi at the location but wish I did.

    No worries. This is what I originally posted. I have a ST01 timer on hand. Black - Line Blue - Load Red - 3 way (not used) Green - ground I don't have a diagram because, well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. And how I can install it in place of the bypass switch in this diagram, and...

    Contactor Timer Wiring

    I want to install a timer to control a well pump located at a pond on my property. I've installed a diagram showing the electrical configuration. The thing to focus on is the Bypass Switch (which I use to run the well pump continuously in the Spring to fill the pond). I'd like to replace this...

    As I keep saying I have two wells, each with their own pressure tank, one for the house and one for the pond. The pond well and pressure tank have nothing to do with getting water to the house, which has it's own independent well. The pond well only services the pond, the house well only...

    I keep the handle for the hydrant open from early Spring through end of Summer, that's how I used to run water through it with a timer located in the house basement connected to a contactor at the well control panel. The timer turns the contactor on to pump water, and turns the pump off to stop...

    I do have two tanks, one for the house and one for the pond. However, they are plumbed together with a shutoff valve in the event one fails I can still have water flow. As I see it whether I have a standard pressure tank or CSV the pump is still going to cycle a lot when I'm running...

    So in my configuration the cycle stop valve would have to be mounted at the wellhead, since the pond pressure tank is located in my home's basement, which does not have an in and outflow, it's just monitoring pressure. How does the CSV help me with the issue of running the well constantly for...

    I have 2 separate pressure tanks, one for the house well, and one for the pond well.

    I understand your response. However, the pond pressure tank was just recently installed. Prior to that the pond well pump was just in a on/off status; either turned on using the bypass switch at the well head panel, or via a ST01 timer installed in the house basement electric panel connected...

    I'd like to know if it possible to install a 240 volt ST01 timer in the diagram below. The timer wiring is: Black - Line Blue - Load Red - 3 way (not used) Green - ground This is where I'd like to install it - replacing the bypass switch. I'm unclear how to do the installation since it is...

    I have an open loop geothermal system that just discharges water into a pond on my property. This line has frozen up in the past so last summer I dug it up and insulated it, and also installed a heat cable inside the last 25ft of pipe where it goes to daylight. I ran the cable to an above ground...

    Well Water Black Sediment

    It is a deep well, 180'. Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. You seem to be someone with plumbing and well experience so I'd like to give you some more information and background. Apologize if it is lengthy. I've attached some photos that I will explain. I do have an...

    Well Water Black Sediment

    This past summer I shocked my well with chlorine. About a month later I changed the whole house water filter and it was really full of black sediment, which hadn't happened before. I then thought back and realized I had mistakenly used too much chlorine in the treatment. I used to change the...
