Hello,
Just bought a 3 year old house and 3 weeks later my well is dead.
Controller just clicks and does not even give diagnostic lights.
I jumpered power to the pump and it works fine and generates good flow so I'm reasonably sure the controller is dead.
I've read many of Valveman's posts and am seriously considering switching over to CSV.
Couple of questions:
1) Will I need to have a new accumulator tank installed? I have the standard Grundfos Smartflo 2 GAL tank in the system now.
2) Can I get ANY licensed plumber to do the CSV and pressure-switch install or do I specifically need a well contractor? (If the latter, should I stay away from the original installer - since he would likely be in the CP camp?) I called the plumber down the street and he said he would come tomorrow to check out what was wrong. I had not done the wellpump troubleshooting yet when I called him though.
3) Can a CSV be installed in the basement instead of at the well head?
I've been living in a campground for almost two weeks and haven't had a descent shower in that time. I need help and water fast!
