First let me say how much I have enjoyed these forums. I have read a significant amount of stuff but I have become a bit confused. Without going into my life story and making this post huge, I will list the basic points:
- Bought a house. It has a 3gpm low yield well that is only 40 feet deep with 30 feet of static water.
- The house is only 20 years old, but EVERYTHING is original. The pressure tank, water filters and lines are pretty old.
- I want to replace everything in the house with a water storage tank + cycle stop valve.
Now I know how to install the cycle stop valve, and how to install a water storage tank but where I get confused is with how the pumptec and control box. As far as I can tell, I don't see a control box anywhere??? All I have on my wall is the pumptec and an "on/off" switch. So my question is, like... what the hell? Is the pumptec acting as both the control box and the well dry shutoff? Or am I missing something? I took photos below. As you can see there is major iron in the water, the old filters were all gummed up. Any tips/advice would be appreciated. Edit: On the 2nd to last photo, you can see in the top right hand side the "on/off" switch connected to the pump tec. Sorry I never got a better photo of it... but it's just a box with a switch. I don't think that could be the control box could it?
