[QUOTE="the doctor, post: 296778, member: 75"] Success! Well i think so! I have took the pressure vessel and moved it up to the house...which is about 85 m above the submerged pump and 25m above the surface of the well water. As I said, when the pipe was full and the vessel was down at the well head we had 45lbs/in. I have set the house sited vessel to cut off at 45 lbs/in so there will be about 90lbs at the well head. The differential cuts in at 25 lbs/in so happy days. The overload tripped out a couple of times so I turned the o/l up to its 4A maximum. It is still drawing about 2.8- 3A by the way, which is a little high, not withstanding the unknown power factor. As my sister says, we have no choice. If it smokes the pump, we will replace the thing with something bigger. Me? I have a funny feeling it will live on due to the fact is is submerged.... Best wishes Alan [/QUOTE]
