I agree about the capacitor set-up on the pump - now if it loses a capacitor, it's turned into a service call to pull the pump rather than a 10 minute job for me to replace one in a control box....

I went back and first lowered the cut-in pressure just to see what happened. The result was that the initial brief lag in water pressure became a 3 second delay. This goes along with what CJD had...

I did use those type of directions to check and set the pressure switch settings - thanks.

Having gone the full and partial resto routes for myself and others, I can tell you that it is usually cheaper in the long run to buy something that has had a good portion of the work completed or...

Paul is right about the GM/Ford names for limited slip units - I just call everything a posi unit /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

No, I do not see any small bubbles in the house water - I know what you are talking about though. We had them when the first pump was starting to run out of water - looked like a light froth when you...

For your application I would suggest a posi over a locker.
A posi unit will run anywhere from $375-$500 depending on what you get. Add shop labor for R&R, new seals, etc, plus setting up the ring...

I checked the tank pressure and it is right on 38 psi, which makes sense for the 40/60 pressure switch that's being used.

In order to check the air pressure in the tank, I turned off the power and...

Thank you for the help.

I'll check the air pressure in the tank first to ensure that it's where it needs to be - about 2 psi below pressure switch cut-on psi.

As far as what holds pressure in...

Thanks for the info that you gave me about the questions I had about a drop in water pressure to our house - the what is it with me and wells? post. If you can help a bit more I would appreciate it....

I'm in the process of installing a transfer switch for back up well/septic/fridge/etc power. I bought a H-F unit for $499 that was rated at 7200/6500 watts, with both 120v and 240v outlets. It's...

Only experience with their tractors - I've got a L3000DT that has been bulletproof in all kinds of conditions. My opinion is that Kubota diesels are of excellent quality.

I will check the pressure switch settings and the air pressure in the tank tonight and see if anything is out of whack there. Before we...

Please don't laugh when I ask how I would know if I've got that PRV in the system? /forums/images/icons/confused.gif

Pat, I agree with you that adding chlorine is a good idea, so I don't want to rush to say that it's not needed just...

Thanks for both of your replies. I'll first check the basic cut-on/cut-off pressures, then check the air pressure in the tank. There's a possibility that even though the pressure switch works, the...

Pat, thanks for taking the time to help me.

As far as back-up power, I'm installing a 10 circuit transfer switch so that I can use a portable generator to power selected circuits, one of them...

Thanks to all of you for your info about my water well woes some time ago - that saga is over and all the work was done at no cost.
