The effects of short cycling

[Craigpump]

This 2 hp/ 19 gpm F&W hung on 180' of 1.25 160 psi poly had been cycling against a water logged 82 gallon galvanized tank. The wire is shredded, the pipe has flat spots & the only TA48 was broken.

I am actually surprised the pump shaft, coupling, pressure switch, control box, or even the motor lasted long enough to cause the wear on the motor and pump case. I do know how to fix that problem without even needing a single torque arrestor.

So do I, a new pump will go in on 1.25 sch120 and I have a CSV2 on the shelf looking for home.

Excellent! Everybody will be happy and I can get a little something at the grocery store this week.
