I have got mixed opinions from books and such on this. Should I put a torque arrestor on the poly pipe? My pump will be at about 220' down, 1 hp pump.
I sort of agree with Roger. If you have 300’ of flexible pipe, single jacketed wire, and a regular pressure tank system that is “whipping” every time the pump cycles on and off, you can’t put enough torque arrestors to stop the wire from chaffing.
However, if you have double-jacketed wire and use a Cycle Stop Valve, the pump won’t cycle on/off enough to wear out the down hole wire. I haven’t needed a torque arrestor in 22 years since I started putting a CSV on every pump installed. Then you don't have to worry that torque arrestors will stick the pump in the well no matter the condition of the well.
This is awkward, but...
