We purchased our property a couple years ago. We have multiple ponds that all feed into one. On the lowest pond, there is a GE pump (Model# 5KC48PN214AX). The pump looks very old, I cant even find anything on Google with that model number.
We have a wedding at our property next month and decided to try and get this pump working (it was there when we bought it, I have never messed with it) and get some new line put in. Everything went well, pump primed fine and pumps excellent. However, it does not seem to have any sort of shut off solenoid? We have to go to the breaker panel to turn the pump on/off.
Right now the pump is wired straight into a breaker panel with no solenoids of any kind.
Question(s) are this: We would like to use this pump for the next month or so to keep the meadow green where the wedding will be, and then also use it for watering our new fruit trees in our garden. Do I need to put a pressure switch in? Suggestions?
Edit - I would think I would want the pump to turn on "on demand" when it senses I have water on?
