Seven years is the average life of a submersible, so you didn't miss it by much. The 3" pump you have spins at over 10,000 RPM compared to a normal 4" pump that spins 3450 RPM. Everytime you double...

How long did it last and how large is your pressure tank? There are ways to make it last longer. Next time it goes out it will be even more expensive.

The 3" 22 GPM pump is probably a Grundfos 22SQ. Couldn't be very old. Was it the variable speed SQE22 with the little 1 gallon tank or the SQ22 with a regular tank?

I would drill the well where the local guys think they can find water. You may have to pump it further, run more pipe and wire, or it may be in a difficult to get to area. The most important part...

The control on the Simer booster pump you are looking at works by starting the pump at a low pressure and stopping the pump a few seconds after the flow has stopped or almost stopped. Some of these...

For a CSV, check with pumpsandtanks.com. I am sure they can help with a pump as well.

Gary, the Cycle Stop Valve will work with a pump start relay and no pressure tank. See this link; http://www.cyclestopvalves.com/techq_3.html

So you already have a pump? The Flo tec pump only builds 46 PSI. Then you are stuck with a 20/40 pressure switch setting. I would not be happy with that low of pressure. I reccommend 40/60 PSI...

Gary is right about checking your pump curve to see what pressure that pump will deliver while using 15 GPM. I was just using a 1 HP 20 GPM curve and that may not be the pump you have. Also the CSV...

Both Goulds and Franklin will have the same Franklin Electric motor on them. Only difference is pump end. Both have plastic impellers with floating stack design, not a nickles worth of difference...

Constant Pressure is easy and not that expensive. A pressure regulating valve will deadhead a pump at the pressure it is set at, which will burn up a pump or motor. Take a look at the Web...

mixing the water with air will cause the iron to fall out of solution. This will happen when you pump the water into the pond. Pumping water out of the pond is a good way not to have...

Your right CSV's have been around for 10 years but the word is slow getting out. Many pump companies will not mention a CSV because it makes pumps last longer and use smaller tanks. Kind of...

I have also been in the well business for many years. Born in the business. Father and grandfather were well drillers and pump installers. Myself over 30 years in the business. I agree...

You will love constant pressure in your house. And it will fix your pressure problems. For more info on the differences see www.cyclestopvalves.com

The Smart Tee has a one sixtenth of an inch drilled hole for a pump cooling bypass. When this tiny hole stops up you will burn up your pump. see an explanition at www.cyclestopvalves.com under...

Variable speed pumps do not save energy. you can get the same energy savings by using a simple valve on a standard pump. standard pumps spin 3450 RPM and the variable speed pumps spin from 4800 to...
