Hello,
We have a deep well into the florida aquifer that feeds our entire 12 acre nursery-home-farm; We predominately grow orchids; The deep well feeds into a 500g aerator and is then pumped by a 1 HP sta-rite jet pump into one of our 8600sf orchid greenhouse; each zone in the house produces between 14 and 18 GPM depending upon the zone. We have a fertilizer injector that is max capacity @ 20gpm. So i cannot increase the size of the zones. The pump is currently cycling on 20-30 second intervals. There is only one pressure spring on this model pump(as opposed to many that have the 2, the one acts as the). Should I loosen the spring? tighten up on it? Or is there another option? If i didn't have to run the injector to medicate the plants this wouldn't be an issue, as i can just increase gpm with larger zones; the next size up, a 40 gpm Injector is almost $700. Any help would be tremendousl;y appreciated!
thanks,
tom
