Any suggestions for how to debug why a booster pump inside the pumphouse won't turn back on to pressurize water for use inside the house?
The tanks ran dry because I had turned off the well pump at the circuit breaker because the water tanks were overflowing because the Clorox bottle switch setup inside broke a rope.
When I turned the well pump back on, the tanks filled with water (and I repaired the broken rope) but the booster pump won't turn on.
So I have lots of water but near zero water pressure.
Any idea how to debug a non-working booster pump?
Here are more details for you to help me figure out the next step!
The pump stopped working when the water tanks ran dry: I don't see where the "thermal reset" might be: Inexplicably, the gauge shows about 64psi: I uncovered the relays which seem to be unbroken & unburnt: Outside, I fixed the "level indicator" (the cause of running dry): The pump indicates it has a thermal shutoff somewhere? The pressure tank seems to be pressurized (but there is no pressure): Luckily, there's electricity inside if I need it: At this point, the tanks are full of water - but no pressure!
