standard Well system(if there is a such a thing) variable speed 1/2 with a hydrant down at the well, there is ~25' of head going from the hydrant to pressure tank. There is one check valve in operation down at the pump - here's where’s my question seems different from all the other reading. I did look so sorry if I am reasking…
When I open my hydrant, it releases the immediate charge on the system, pressure goes to a trickle ~20 seconds, the switch starts to see the new demand and kicks the pump on. I get pressure and it remains constant and perfect.
Am I doing damage to the pump, pressure tank or switch during that ~20 seconds it takes to sense the demand and kick the pump? maybe it too sudden of a drop in pressure and the variable speed 0-100% in a split second?
Second, is there a way to shrink that 20 seconds? If it takes that long for the pressure drop below the cut on pressure seems to me the only option is to increase the volume of the hydrant so the pressure drops more quickly.
Thanks for your consideration.
