    Submersible pump: When to use relay vs contactor?

    maybe you could draw a picture of your system and that way cary or reach can visualize it,,,, i have a system similiar to yours, with a 5000 gallon tank. i do not understand how a pressure switch tells your pump to turn off when the cistern is full

    THE BEST heat tape for well house pipes.

    Thanks Carey. I do have a pit less adapter but in my set up, the 1 inch PVC pipe that comes off the pitiless adapter goes underground for 30 feet to the pump House and then pops up into the pump house and goes through the wall into a big black storage tank, then another pipe comes off of...

    Where to get a fair price on well pump, pipe, wire, controls

    i'm actually going to use a 1 hp 5gpm pump with sch 120 pvc. that is interesting about using small wire. the plan was to use 10 guage wire, so do an extra splice about 190 ft from the top. i had always heard that would burn up a motor faster but maybe if it is more...

    Where to get a fair price on well pump, pipe, wire, controls

    this pump would be set at between 570'-560',, the casing goes to 580'. i was thinking poly for the less friction loss not sure if it can go that deep. in this case, the pump is just filling up a 2500 gallon tank, however, the jet pump might work with your cycle stop valve. i was...

    Where to get a fair price on well pump, pipe, wire, controls

    i have 2 new wells i just drilled and have been really looking into dropping the pump in my self to save a few bucks. i'm very handy. what i have been running into is the local supply places seem to really screw over the average joe as far as charging them for the parts, there are 3 or 4...

    Is there a reasonably priced soft start control for a typical single phase motor?

    Thanks to Reach and Cary,, I've been looking at VFD's and regular pumps for my 2 wells I just drilled. for my particular application,, i don't think a VFD is really necessary but the soft start seems like a huge benefit. I've installed a couple of soft start electronic units on some 1.5 hp...

    1/2 gpm is it worth casing

    The two guys drilling at work for a fairly big company called drill tech here, the main guy running the drill rig seems pretty young like late 20s. He said he would put casing on it, actually I’m looking out my window and they’re starting to put the casing in right now

    1/2 gpm is it worth casing

    Let me be more clear, here in my state you’re allowed one well up to 35 GPM for your house and you’re allowed another Stockwell, I think at the same GPM. The well that I’m using for the house is maybe a 10 GPM well, so I thought I would drill a Stockwell hoping to get better Gpm kind of for a...

    1/2 gpm is it worth casing

    I just drilled a 670 foot well, hit water at 560, stopped at 6:70, cost me about 10,000 bucks to drill this hole. The rating it at 1/2 GPM, the 4 1/2 inch plastic casing will cost me about 5000 bucks, is it worth casing and putting a pump in?
