In case anyone wants to answer his question instead of insult him, He needs a
FRANKLIN PUMPTEK or at the very least a 15$ low pressure cut out switch for the pressure switch.
The pumptek will turn back on when water comes back, the switch means he must manually reset it. He wanted to SAVE the pump, not watch a light 24-7.
Where should the hillbilly aim his drone missile at?
Best advice of the whole thread; wish I had knowledge about plumbing but alas I know electrical.
I don’t think anyone has insulted him. He made the comment that he wired his home so one would think that he had enough knowledge to install an indicator lamp.
What he purposed was to say the least illegal as well as dangerous. This would leave a seasoned veteran in the electrical trade to wonder how his installation was made
Just want to clarify...wanted to tap to one of the two 110 lines feeding control box...not a 220 line complete..and on feed side theres 2 feeds so thought getting a neutral from another source just to run a small indacator light...i wired most of the house when remodeled so have some idea on wiring just dont know if this would interfere with feed to pump...appreciate your replies ActionDave..
Having been questioned on this type of set up more times than I care to count the same question of placement comes into play. One solution is to put an audible alarm instead of a bulb such as I have installed for gates. This would be annoying for a pump. Then the problem of monitoring the lamp as there are times that no one will be seeing to know if it is on or not.
Then I made the comment how this lamp would affect the depth of the water in the well. The lamp would not stop the pump from running if there was no water and no one was monitoring the lamp.
I don’t think any word was insulting but someone sure did as my inbox is about full. If I did insult my apology as it was not meant to be an insult but simply facts.
Then we have the hero of the day come with some good advice which I thank you for. Wish I knew more about plumbing. The jest of my knowledge is; cold on the left, hot on the right, waste goes downhill, Friday is pay day, and the boss is a son of a fine fellow.
