Hi,
I will be pulling my pump next week to check/replace 15+ y.o. pump. Its running but won't get to shut off pressure and has reduced volume. Ammeter is showing same draw each phase. Reading up what I may encounter as this is my first attempt at a pump replacement.
I was looking at information about TA's and something struck me. What use do TA's serve other than a spacer/guide, if one end of them is not clamped to the pump and other to the drop pipe?
From what I am reading, purpose is to stop the pump coming loose or playing havoc at the pump/drop pipe connection due to the many starts and stops.
All but one video had the TA several feet up the drop pipe. To me that makes it a spacer. Am I missing something in how it works?
If the TA is placed with one end on pump, and one end on drop pipe, would it not be doing both jobs?
I am thinking if I install one it should be attached to pump and drop pipe.
(Weather you need a TA or not has been beaten to death in plenty of other threads )
