New pump, pressure tank and pump control box was installed by local plumber. I thought I was getting a control box that varied the pump speed to control pressure but got the one that just shuts pump on or off to maintain pressure. I have been listening to the pump run and I hear cycles of 2 or 3 seconds run time with a minute or so between runs. I can't believe a pump can last doing this.
My installer says this is the way it is supposed to work and the pump is designed for it. He also charged and unbelievable amount for that box. I found them on the internet for less than $300. Our last pump a Meyers lasted for 33 years. I have been reading on here about the CSV, why don't they use them? How long is my new pump going to last? Can't have another $3700 bill for a long time. To be fair he also had to dig down and replace to the connection to the house (would not come out). The rest of the bill seemed reasonable.
