    Sizing well components

    Thank you, that's very helpful. I have a couple of questions, 1. Can the CSV valve be outside in the weather? 2. I can't find the max pressure of the 25GS20. The same pump and piping have worked fine with a large PT, no CSV and pressure set at 50-70 psi which is the setup I presently have. Can...

    Sizing well components

    I've labeled this diagram with a couple of questions about my well project. Most of the water from the well will go to the farm for irrigation and livestock. I need advice on what settings for pressure switch, CSV (and which one) and PT size and setting. Do you see anything here that I should...

    separating house water from irrigation system

    Thanks for the response. I wasn't clear enough in describing my problem. My vineyard irrigation system was installed with the tank and pressure switch down stream from my fertilizer injection device. It looks like the solution is to re-plumb the system with the pressure tank and switch before...

    separating house water from irrigation system

    I want to plumb water into my house using my submersible well pump which also supplies irrigation water to a vineyard. There is plenty of water to handle the needs of both. The problem is I need to isolate the systems to not allow irrigation chemicals in the house. I need suggestions on how to...

    Control Box problem

    Thank you for making that clear. There is no mention of this in the manual and I don't believe the schematics show it either. I really appreciate you pointing to a solution as I was out of ideas. This is a vineyard pump and I'll test this week to see how many blocks I can water at one time for...

    Control Box problem

    Problem solved! Thank you all for your help and particularly, Valveman. The control box needed a jumper between SW and L2. Pump is working exactly as it should. This might be of interest. While troubleshooting the pump, I checked the resistance for B-Y and R-Y. The value for B-Y was correct but...

    Control Box problem

    The terminal block has a space for SW as can be seen in the photo. There is no jumper cable to L2 and the wiring diagram does not show one. If I'm reading this correctly the jumper would then send power through the yellow wire to the coil. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks.

    Control Box problem

    Thanks, That looks like the problem as there is no sound when the breaker is turned on and no reading for amps. However, I have 240 volts at L1 and L2. I measured across the hot legs. I also measured each leg to ground and they were both 120 volts-- no dead leg. I haven't checked the circuit...

    Yes. Yes, I did. Nothing happens.

    Control Box problem

    Not sure what else to do. I'm doing some other electrical work and won't have power back at the well for a few days so haven't tested the amp draw. Not sure what that will tell me. The motor isn't stuck as I turned it by hand before installing, wiring tested good for conductivity. I sent an...

    Yes, I got a 240 reading across the hot legs going into the control box.

    Control Box problem

    I may have a faulty pump. A winding resistance valve is off. Main(Y-B) at 2.1 is within specs but the Start(Y-R) is 5.2 where it should be between 10.8 and 12.0. What is making me wonder is the (R-B) value is 7.4 which is the sum of the other two like it is supposed to be. Y,B,R to ground all...

    Control Box problem

    I ran a continuity test on all the wiring and there are no shorts or open lines. I haven't taken amp readings yet. This is a new Gould pump and control box. How would I test the relay?

    I just checked and I have 240V to the control box and will start checking amp draw tonight.

    Control Box problem

    I've just installed a new pumping system with a 2 hp Goulds submersible pump and control box CB204112MC which I believe is the correct one. The pump will not start. I've got power through the pressure switch and into the control box but nothing coming out. What am I missing here? It seems very...

    A deep well check valve question

    Thank you. I'll be doing the same.
