Well, here are my thoughts .................... and remember I'm basing all of my input on what YOU have shared:

1- If there is no start capacitor for the pump, and that is what you have stated,...

First, as I stated earlier, I'm no well/pump expert, but 6 ohms is about what I would have expected. If this truly is the reading from the two wires that go down into the well where the pump sits,...

[QUOTE=wellnowwhat;379906]The control box doesn't have a capacitor or relay inside of it, I was talking to someone yesterday who said it's basically like a junction box with 240 VAC going in and out...

I'm not a well expert, but I do have a couple of comments:

#14 wire should be protected with a 15 amp breaker - a 30 amp breaker offers no protection with this size wire

Based on your entire...

I'm no expert, but I do like your idea. You have absolutely nothing to lose and may even save some big bucks. The worst that can happen is the well may not be able to supply your demands at the 65...

Is this it:

A while back when I spoke with technical support about their different Pumptec models, it was my understanding the Pumptec did not have a sensitivity setting as did the QD Pumptec. I guess I could...

I am using the Pumptec QD and have had very good experience with the unit. The main reason I picked the QD unit was because it easily fit inside my current control box AND had BOTH sensitivity and...

that is high ............... in my opinion! Unless it was a deep well installation with other issues involved.

By the way, did you mean to state he charged $1200 total?

NeedsHelp12,

I hope I'm not about to say something out of line or put my nose where it doesn't belong, but ........................

1- Based on your post, it does appear your original pump was...

hope this helps!

Curiosity got the best of me, so I went home for lunch so that I could take a look at how things went today. Our sprinkler system did complete its entire cycle as the entire lawn looked fresh...

Thanks Valveman!

So, the air blowing from the well seal opening is not a bad sign or really doesn't indicate anything. I think we were both thinking this may indicate something is awry. In any...

I’ve got a weird one …………… at least I think I do.

As you know, I have been monitoring water level for several weeks now and hoping the darn thing doesn’t go dry. Yes, the water level has been...

OK, I've think I'll do the following:

1- Run the field calibrate feature
2- When finished, set the sensitivity to +10%. Based on the documentation, this will increase the default trip sensitivity...

Thanks again valveman & LLigetfa!

If I'm reading you two correctly, I would be better served if I implemented the "field Calibrate" function. Afterwards, I will be required to move the sensitivity...

I was reading over the documentation that came with the Pumptec. As mentioned, there is a sensitivity setting that can be increased or decreased. The manual indicates it is not normally necessary to...

What is ISTR ??

And, thanks fellows!

Update & Thank You!!

Well, I now have the QD Pumptec wired inside my 1 HP control box. I am protected should the water level drop below the intake. I also have the 1/4" poly tubing and a pressure...

it was stated the switch was wired backwards............ for me that meant it was wired incorrectly and would not run the way they left it.

I too studied the contacts and the switch appeared to be...

220 volt pump????

Point out the wiring error please

UPDATE

I contacted the technical support group at Franklin motors and spoke with an engineer. I explained my primary concern was protection from a low water level condition. Since I was already...

Thanks for the info fellows!

After some reading, I am leaning towards the Pumptec QD

The primary protection I am searching for is from a low water level situation. This unit seems to fit...
