    Expected life/reliability of submersible pump

    My reason for running the UV device after the flow stops, is to keep it from cycling too much when the water is turned off & on. I imagine too much cycling is bad for the device. For example when washing dishes by hand we are constantly turning the water off & on. They actually recommend the UV...

    Expected life/reliability of submersible pump

    Quite simple, I will be installing two devices that I would like to put delay off timers on. 1) In my aeration tank I would like to install a corona discharge ozone generator. When water is pumped into the tank, I would like to start the generator (it has a bubbler) and have it run for 2 hours...

    Expected life/reliability of submersible pump

    Knowing what to call a device really helps when trying to find it. With your help, I found this Delay On Release It seems a bit cumbersome to work with, in that it seems to use a DIN connector. Any ideas on other products that might be easier to work with?

    How can I create a whole house Battery Backup using a stepwise approach?

    I am beginning to put the pieces of the puzzle together. I have found a device that I believe will do most of what I need. https://www.aimscorp.net/12000-Watt-Inverter-Charger-48-volt-to-120-240vac.html The part I am trying to work out is how to disconnect the mains and then feed my entire...

    How can I create a whole house Battery Backup using a stepwise approach?

    Being an IT consultant for 40+ years and still in the field, I am very aware of the reasons for data centers in particular to use full load UPS systems, backed up by diesel generators. The point of all this is to fill in my knowledge gaps as it applies to implementing a whole house battery...

    How can I create a whole house Battery Backup using a stepwise approach?

    Partly to take care of hurricane scenarios. Partly to avoid investing in fossil fuels. Partly to help during minor (10 minute to 1 hour) outages. Lastly because it interests me. Yes I could get a generator. Yes the initial cost would be less, although I would go for a 20-22KW generator. I...

    Expected life/reliability of submersible pump

    Related to this build, but not necessarily to the above questions; I would like a flow switch with a countdown timer. Does anything like that exist? Precisely what I am trying to do is, when water flows I would like to turn on (110v < 1 amp) something, but when the water stops, I would like...

    How can I create a whole house Battery Backup using a stepwise approach?

    I am aware I would need a transfer switch. Most automatic transfer switches I have seen have a group of circuits they wish to keep operational during the outage. I would like to transfer the entire load, not just a group of circuits. People tend to electrocute themself and burn things down...

    How can I create a whole house Battery Backup using a stepwise approach?

    I am aware of everything you are saying. However, were I to gain a better understanding of the bits & pieces I do not know, I still may wish to pursue the project. My neighborhood does not have natural gas, so I would need to buy propane and have it trucked in. Diesel is another alternative...

    How can I create a whole house Battery Backup using a stepwise approach?

    I would like to create a battery backup system for my entire house. I would like to take a step wise approach to this project, to reduce initial capital outlay. I see the project broken into 4 basic sections; Charging the batteries. (Inverter) Powering the house from the batteries. (Charger)...

    Expected life/reliability of submersible pump

    The Franklin cistern pump is not rated for potable water use. I have no desire to grow any extra appendages. Plus I couldn't find a pressure over flow graph. I really do want to end up with >10 GPM at 65 PSI.

    Expected life/reliability of submersible pump

    Thanks for the replies. I had previously reviewed posts on that which cannot be mentioned. Which is how I came up with the horizontal attitude. I looked at the PumpChamber http://www.wellmanager.com/pumpchamber/ but it doesn't have a price. I called, no answer sent an email to see what the...

    Expected life/reliability of submersible pump

    I do not want to start a religious war, but, "What can I expect as far as longevity/reliability of a submersible pump in an aeration tank?" My "water system guy" says his experience is, they burn out every year or two. The usage is a house with 3 occupants & a swimming pool in S Florida. Light...

    New potable well system recommendations

    When the well was drilled ~20 years ago, I was told the flow rate would never be greater than 3 GPM. That is one reason for the 250 gallons of atmospheric tanks. It provides reserve so I do not run out of water. One tank has a spray bar. The problem isn't during the hurricane, it is after...

    New potable well system recommendations

    I am "designing" my new well system. I live in S. Florida and have a 180' well. The water contains Hydrogen Sulfide gas. Currently we off-gas using no pressure aeration tanks. A second pump takes the water from the aeration tanks and pressurizes it for use in my home. The first area I would...
