On a 30' shallow well with 1.5hp pump: we have 4 hose bibs, and will normally try two watering setups at a time. With both hose bibs running, to shut pump off:
1. Do I turn both bibs off before shutting power off? Some guys have said leave 'em open.
2. If shutting down with hose bibs open, will power to pump normally bring it right back on later?
To my way of thinking leaving the hose bibs open would possibly deplete your prime, to an extant.
