Hi,
I have just replaced my pump and cannot figure out why I am still not operational. I have installed a new 1 1/2 hp pump and new control box. My pressure switch, wiring, float, everything is brand new other than the tank itself. It is an old bladderless tank that does not require pressurized before operation. The pump is 140 feet in the ground. when I turn on the power I have 120v at every point on the pressure switch and where it should be on the control box. I hear the relay click in to start and see the added volts to the start leg on the motor but I only get water barely coming up the pipe. There is no pressure at all. I am at a loss here and would appreciate any help. I do have amperage going to the pump. I read 11a 11a and 1.3 . I am not sure what it should be starting. Thanks
