Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / What to do, what to do.
« on: October 10, 2018, 12:21:12 PM »
After serious research and replacing almost everything on my aunt's well water system, I believe that she needs the csv125.
Well: drilled w/5" casing
Depth is approx 136ft
Static head level is 30ft
Pump is a 4" Flotec 3/4hp 10gpm submersible: depth is 67ft
Pressure switch is 30/50
Pressure tank: 32gal Welxtrol wx- 203
Last May, she had to replace the pump (4" Webtrol /Franklin 1/2hp gpm unknown) and got the bigger one above. Didn't take long for things to go wrong. (Pump is to big and needs to go deeper). Now can't keep water going. Have to start manually, but have severe switch chatter as if tank preset and cut-in are to close. If pressure does get past "fighting" pressures, and starts it raise, it's VERY slow and very little water goes into tank.
I was thinking that I could make everything work if I lower the pump 20ft, and install the CSV-125(set to 40). Hoping tank is alright but found a 6gal if needed.
What do you think? Any help or advice you can give would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance
