I am going to install a 25 GPM centrifugal pressure pump (Goulds 25GBS1511J4) for house pressure. It is going to run at 240VAC. It will be run at 40/60. The pump has a start capacitor in the motor. There are two Amtrol tanks (either WX-302 or WX-350).
I have been wondering if there is any merit to trying to provide a soft start mechanism to the pump. The placement of the phase shift capacitor seems to contraindicate it. And I really have no idea if it will help the pump lifetime.
What do you guys think. Please don't try to fool with the pump or tank types. Done deal.
