On the island with no water

Hi folks and thanks in advance for your help. At the cottage, no water.
We use a franklin 1/2 hp 115 very submersible water pump with a flotec 42 gal pressure tank (bladder type). Last weekend we started blowing breakers. With the pump on the dock turned the breaker on and had no power. Took the pump to the city had it rebuilt and still have no water.

We have 22 lbs pressure in the bladder and we tried another pressure regulator. The only thing I can think of is the electric control panel, does any one know how to test the control.

The wires go from breaker to pressure switch to control panel to pump....

Best way is to just get another control box and swap out the cover with the old one. The box was probably your problem to start with.

see the section undert maintenance called ohm tests. This is the pump installers bible, if one of my guys leaves the shop without out it and has to call me with questions that can be answered with this book i give them a hard time for at least a week.

Thanks for the reply. With the new control panel i get some water but no more than 20 lbs and pump stops.

Did you check the voltage of the motor? might be that they put a 220v motor back on. what did they do to rebuild the pump? there really is not much to rebuild in a submersible pump.

After pulling the pump and testing it on the dock we found that the pump wouldn't start every time. It seems that the guy who rebuilt the pump didn't. I bought a jet pump and have it running now. Two weekends without water was enough.

Thanks for everyone's help
