well pump

Im on a fixed income. I had a big leak from a old galvanized tank. I would turn off/ on my pump at the breaker when I needed it. Maybe twice a day long enuff to shower, flush toilet, wash dishes. Got a new tank and a new switch. Hooked everything up, no water. Its a submersible pump. The switch...

I have a 3 unit house running with a pressure tank and a deep 2 wire well. I have a garage with an apartment over it that i need to get water to. Right now i have a pressure tank in the new apartment with a 1" line running to the well with a 3 wire cable. I want to be able to run both the...

Pretty serious problem, don't know what to do next. New pressure tank, new pressure switch, new control box, new inside plumbing. No water. Pulled the pump, had it checked. It's good and pumps strong. Isolated all wiring [well wire, control box wiring to the well outside of the house and to...

Whenever I run my sprinkler system, my well pump will cycle on for about 1:40 and then off for :40. The output of the sprinkler system is obviously not matching the output of the pump. I am afraid the pump with cycle itself to death. I’m wondering if adjusting some of the sprinkler nozzles...

Hey guys and thanks in advance for the help. Looking for some guidance on replacing a Flotec u27-470 well pump that has gone bad. (PHOTO ATTACHED shows old existing Flotec with electrical set up). The property owner says it died a few years ago. I'm not sure how deep the well is here in SE...

I hope someone can offer some suggestions to fix this, as I'm about to lose my mind. My well pump was replaced mid-April, and after about 10 days, water began sputtering from all faucets and toilet flushing caused a burst of air on refill, with subsequent LOUD knocking and jerking. Well...

Flotec 3-Wire 4in. Submersible Deep Well Pump — 1/2 HP, 1 1/4in., Model# FP3212-02 How would I set up to run the pump manually with a switch? 3 wires from the pump. 2 wires that come up to the surface

I recently installed a new well pump when my 30+ year old Goulds 1/2 HP pump lost pressure after a melt down. I installed a Goulds GT10 irri-gator. The sole purpose of this pump is to run my irrigation. For some reason I just cannot get the pressure up. (insert cialis joke here) The heads run...

I recently hand dug a shallow well to 25 feet. I initially wanted to install just a hand pump to water my garden. It worked great, however our garden has gotten big enough now the hand pump takes way to long to water the garden. The casing on the well is 1 3/4", and I can not find a pump the...

It appears that I have quite the plumbing conundrum on our hands! My wife and I recently moved into a new house (year and half ago) and since, we've slowly been updating our plumbing system. We're on a well system that includes an acid neutralizer, water softener and a whole house filter. In...

I recently bought a home and have never had a well. I noticed that the well seemed to be cycling to often, finally it went out. I replaced the pressure switch (30/50) and got it going again. The same problem persisted so I took the following step. Checked tank pressure after shutting the water...

My well pump came loose of the hose and wiring. How do I get it back up and out of the well?

I am just about to replace the whole house filter on my submersible pump driven well. I am going to fit a larger 4 1/2 x 10 filter. I intend to fit a pair of pressure gauges, one either side of this filter to monitor it's performance.. I have a lot of red soft clay in the water and I am...

Hi ! I moved to new place and seems something not to be right with water supply. According to manual (Tank WX-255) current setup is little off. I attached a quick sketch of existing setup. Planning to reroute everything and connect clean way. I have two pipes coming from ground. One is...

Hello, I just bought a house a couple weeks ago. We noticed a loss of pressure when running a shower and washer at the same time. We heard some pretty loud knocking coming down the copper pipe near the pressure tank. Our pressure dropped down to about 24psi and the gauge needle would flutter in...

My house runs on well water and water from a cistern also. Today the cistern ran dry causing the need for me to prime the well pump after filling my cistern. I primed the pump, all seemed well, came on at 20 shut off around 45, held pressure,no leaks to be seen. Everything ran well with it all...

Ok guys, new problem. So I’ve been combing though the forum before posting to see if I could find my answer. Situation: I have a 3/4 shallow well jet pump that I use for lawn irrigation (see picture) that for the last year or so has intermittently cycled even without any lawn valves open. I...

I have a few problems but my current one is my pressure switch. My well is probably 50 years old. I'm certain the pump is not but a few weeks ago my pressure switch started acting up. I would lose pressure and have to go tap it with a wrench to get it started again. I replaced it last week. I am...
