I have an AO Smith, I HP, 230V pump (Goulds #J06853L) controlled by a Furnas series C AS4FX switch set at 30-50.
All of the components are less than 4 yrs. old and have been rigorously maintained. The layout is; pump to 25 g. pressure tank to 30m. filter to Kineteco green sand to WaterBoss 900 softener to 5m. filter to house.
The flow and pressure are less than I would like. Can I safely take this setup and go to 40-60 (I know how to adjust the switch). Will the pump take it? Any idea of how much more it will cost over the span of a year? Kids are gone and the're just two older folks living here but the sprinklers are on the same system. I'll be redoing the sprinklers soon, going to xeriscaping.
