Hello there, hopefully this is posted in the correct forum, of not please place it where it should be.
My question is, I want to add a water storage tank to my well system. I have a new potable water tank in my garage. So what I want to do is have my well pump pump the water into the tank instead of directly to my house. I have a float switch that will be mounted in the tank. When it’s up it’ll shut the pump off, down pump comes on. Now I bought this house in October, I have no idea what size pump is in the well(about 210’ deep I’ve been told). I know the pump runs on 220v.
So the float switch “SAYS” it can be used for 110 and 220. Well I’d rather not take the chance since the wires for the pump are #8 and the switch is #14. So I thought what about a contractor. So I got one, only problem is I can’t figure out for the life of me how to wire it up. Obviously the power goes in one side and the load in the other. Now there’s 2 pins on each side which should be for the switch, but I can’t figure out how to hook it up to work.
Here’s some pictures, hopefully someone can give me some insite.
