Product Questions Answered by Jim, the Water Pump Expert

Does this pump have a rope tie-off to prevent losing it in the well?

I have read that this pump utilizes a Franklin motor, is this true?

Hi Jim, We are having to replace our well pump with a new pump. I would like to find out if this is the correct pump for our well. The well is 505 feet deep with the pump i believe sitting at 500 ft. Our well is a low producing well at just 1.125 gpm. with a static level of 194 feet from the top of the well. Would this pump be the correct pump for us?

Answer

Heidi,

Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. Before I can really make an educated suggestion on what pump you would need for your application, I would need to know the following specifications and requirements:

Depth of your well-505FT

Standing Water Level-194ft

Well Recovery Rate or Pumping Water Level-1.125

GPM & PSI Requirements-

Total pumping distance including any elevation variance-

Number of Sprinkler Heads (if zoned, per zone) And Their Individual GPM & PSI Requirements (if applicable)-

Total Distance from The Pump to The Furthest Sprinkler and Any Elevation Variance (if applicable)-

If you can supply this information, I'll be happy to assist you further.

what parts are involved with submersible pumps that can fail and breakdown or if it doesn't work you just have to replace the entire pump?

Sal

Answer

When it comes to 2-wire deep well submersible pumps, the pump starting controls are located inside the pump. Any of these components can fail and cause the pump to become inoperable. By installing a 3-wire pump, those components would be located inside a CONTROL BOX, making repairs much easier when failure of these components are the cause of your pump not operating. Of course if the pump has failed due to burnt motor windings or some other cause, would would still need to pull and replace the pump, but you would have a better understanding of the pump status when the pump starting components are above ground as opposed to 50-500 feet or more, below ground.

what is the purpose of the control box and can it be eliminated?

Armand

from Ohio

July 09, 2012

Answer

Three wire submersible motors require a control box. Control boxes contain a starting relay, starting capacitors and in some cases overload protectors. Two wire submersible motors have these components built into them and do not require a control box.

One benefit of using a three wire motor with a control box is that some of the components that are subject to failure are located above ground where you can get to them without pulling the pump.

Control boxes should never be mounted in direct sunlight or in locations that are extremely hot, this causes the capacitor life to be shortened and can cause nuisance overload trips. Do not mount the control box in a humid location such as a damp well pit since voltage breakdown and corrosion will accelerate component failure in this condition.

Control boxes are designed for vertical, upright mounting only. Any other position will affect the operation of voltage sensing relays in larger sizes and may result in water leakage.
