Hello evryone,
I live in a community that lives off a well that produces 55 gpm+, about 70 house.
For years now water shuts off, pumps get fixed and water turn brown now and then.
The system is made of a 350' well, 2 large reservoirs with min max sensors which shut off booster pumps if out of range, 2 booster pumps, one emergency pump, an air pump to a pressure tank with two pressure sensors driving the 2 booster pumps.
The last time it failed, one BP had to be rebuild, the auxiliary inbuilt sensors and electric kept shutting on and off, and pump 2 does trip occasionaly so we switched to the well pump for pressure. Each time work is done the water turns very brown.
I wanted to hear stories of cascading failure and their root cause, see if this can inspire some lasting solutions on our side.
thank you.
