I have a flow tec 1/2hp submersible pump in a 25'well. The pump, switch and tank were all replaced in march due to the pump going bad it was twelve years old. The new system worked fine up until about two weeks ago then my problem started. What it started doing was if you turned two faucets on at the same time the pump stops running. When this happen the contacts on the switch are closed and the wires from the house are hot to the switch and the wires from the switch to the pump are hot, then in a minute or so the pump kicks back on and works fine as long as there is only one water source is in use.
I contacted flow tech and explained my problem to them and they told me the pump was at fault and to return it and it would be replaced under warranty. I did this and installed it along with a new switch, this worked fine for a day and then it started the same thing.
One other thing this system even the original has always seemed to cycle on and off constantly when a faucet is on, is this due to the size of the pressure tank or is this normal. I forget the tank size but its about the size of a basketball.
thank you
