How?

Raucina said:The solution is pretty elemental, build a sealed flow inducer sleeve, it slips over the pump...with 4 or 6" pipe that causes the water to be drawn from the bottom. Cut 'V's" in the bottom for the water to pass. This solves your other issue of motor overheating, and now its standing upright. A cycle stop valve wont stop upthrust on start up, and will not allow the motor to be laid down.
I would rather abandon the last foot of storage, or use a multi stage booster outside the tank.[what do you mean by a multistage booster? would this replace the submersible pump?/QUOTE]
So you're saying the CSV causes a significant restriction, even when it hasn't reached it's regulating pressure, I didn't realize that.speedbump said:As soon as the pump turns on, the CSV will be holding the pump back
Perhaps we should have had you describe the system first... no pressure tank?jim hay said:No pressure tank on this system.
They're normally placed on a pad at the base of the tank, so there's really no problem with self priming, they get wet just from the level of the water in the tank, unless you run the storage tank dry and then that's a good application for the pressure switch with the low pressure manual reset feature. The nice thing about the booster pump is that it's made to operate horizontally, and it easy to repair, either just buy either a new motor, or new impellers (not so cheap).Speedbump said:The sub will work much better than the multistage booster pump. It is just a submersible pump stuck on a jet pump motor. Problem is, they are not self priming and that can be a problem.
This is awkward, but...
