My pressure gauge is in the mechanical room. Pressure ranges from 40-68. Toilet pressure tank would get complaints from the staff.

I had already pushed what I would consider very hard. But not Gorilla hard.

RC worst is where I ordered my submersible pump and they were very helpful in getting the properly sized control box and all the wire and everything else that I needed, back in 2021 when nobody else had pumps available. I can relate on the needed rain. That storm dumped more than half an inch...

I think I fixed it. Came out to the kitchen, made myself a drink and sat down to watch more videos. R C Worst has an entire series about troubleshooting the control box and pump, specifically this brand of box so I watched the video that walks you thru how to test the components and when they...

I thought I had something to brag about. I sat down with my multimeter and tested the start capacitor that I replaced this morning. 111.8. So that tests good. Then I tested the start and run capaciters on the original control box from several months ago and it both capaciters test good. But the...

The spare needs to be rebuilt. I’m at the hardware store now buying a new miltimeter because the fancy klein I bought is not working properly so I didn’t even have the ability to test the capacitor. I’m going back and test everything.

Also, to answer the question, it is a 1.5 hp pump

So my wife just walked in and asked if I turned turned the pump off again. I went and checked it and just using a voltage tester pen, there was juice going to the pressure switch, then to the control box then out to the pump. That kind of scared me because I figured it meant the pump was the...

It worked. About 10 seconds after turning it back on, there was another click noise. Kind of a plastic hollow sound but it kept working. The pressure tank refilled. All seems good. I’m gonna keep my fingers crossed. And order another capacitor.

Forgot the picture. I’m gonna put the cover on and turn it back on. .

This is the third strike. I replaced the original box with one that had magnetic switches in it. That was $260. Then it happened again and I tried replacing the capacitor and the capacitor blew so I put a new franklin box in that was identical to the original. The current box which is 1.5 hp not...

It happened again last night. Lightening storm took out the well control box. I’m not sure if I should just start a new thread or roll with this one. I have a spare capacitor that I bought when I bought this new well pump control box This is a two horsepower franklin brand 230 V control box...

I’m not sure what you mean.

Very dangerous. Pex tubing is rated to 180 degrees at 100 PSI

At 7:29 I got a message that The box was delivered to the front door or steps. I drove to the front of the property and the box was sitting in the driveway at the gate. Not perfect, but I’ll take it. (I still gave “Jose” a thumbs up review for being on time.) I came back and installed the box...

True , and I hope not. But the only way to know is to deal with the pump controller problem first. If the pump is bad, then that is a whole different level of suck

I ordered the whole box and an extra capaciter

Big storm. Lightning atrike that seemed like it was close maybe even hit the house. No damage to outside of house that I can see but wife was in kitchen he. And she got a shock. She was at the stove. Gfci outlet in utility room went bad. Gfci outlet that Starlink is plugged into went bad and...
