Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Is a liquid level control necessary?
« on: October 04, 2019, 05:55:00 PM »
I upgraded my well system to a CSV after reading on this site. It has been working well for the past two years and so far no problems with it.
Recently I was wanting to put some freeze protection in the well head by installing a GFI receptacle and a temperature controlled heater strip. Inspecting the electrical, there are 6 wires going down to the well pump. Turns out it is a four wire pump connected to a solid state switch control and the other two wires are connected to a Liquid Level Control Relay which has two electrodes down in the well shaft, an upper and a lower.
I was wondering if I can safely do away with the Liquid Level Control Relay if I replace it with Cycle Sensor cs1ph1-2hp? That would allow me to use the two sensor wires for my receptacle.
Makes sense to me but I would like to confirm. Has anyone else done similar?
