mmm...I don't like the idea of a mercury switch in a potable well. I suppose most float switches are housed in plastic, but maybe a switch with a stainless steel housing would resist more pressure....

Yea, I like the simplicity of float switches - I use one in the attic tank to get the water from the well. BUT is there a float switch (or something similar) that could be lowered to about 20 meters...
oh? I never heard of a water supply for a refrigerator...I did lower a float switch before , don't remember but maybe 50 meters, and it got squashed by the pressure. I suppose float switches are...
The thing is at the moment I just use a gravity storage tank in the attic, with float switch and overflow pipe. This system works well, though I suppose it's not compatible for using with a pressure...
I think the main problem with a float switch would be that at a depth of 20 meters, it would probably get squashed by the water pressure. Actually I don't know how deep float switches can be lowered...
we don't have zip codes - just Spain. The postage price would be the same in any part of Spain.
I can buy something similar here (Fanox CBM2) in Spain for about $270 - anyway I suppose shipping from USA could take ages.
Yea - Pumptec sounds good, but how much would it cost to ship to Spain?
Hi, my well pump is about 25 meters from the surface in a 60 meter well, but I don't have any system of protection for dry run. The pump is approx 1 hp (can't confirm because the label on pump is...
I assume I would need to analyse the water to see if it is dirinkable. Yes I have a floating switch in the attic tank plus an overflow pipe going out through the exterior wall..just in case......
Hi, I have just discovered that the well company inserted 61 meters of 18 cm PVC piping down the newly drilled well.
Is PVC ok to use for drinking water? and is it usual practice to use PVC inwells?...
Well for the moment I was just thinking of a normal water tank in the attic to gravity feed to faucets. I'm wondering what kind of pump would be best to use? Thank you
Hi, I should say the well is in the Pyrenees mountains north Spain and it is for domestic water (not sure yet if it will be ok to drink) . It is situated about 20 meters from a local river (you can...
I have just had a 60 meter (water appeared at 58 meters) water well drilled and I was wondering what kind of pump is best to use to pump water to a height of about 80 meters in total. The water has...
