irrigation - pump cycling

Aug 20, 2016 2 Replies

Pressure tank with 40/60 pressure switch to pump start relay to submersible pump, maybe 1.5hp, maybe 2hp __________________________________________



We want to add some irrigation to foundation plantings. The well output exceeds the water needs. How do we stop pump cycling?



Thanks


You can't stop pump cycling, only reduce the frequency.

Start by checking your tank bladder for proper inflation.

Actually, you can, with a cycle stop valve:

It throttles the flow of water from the well to maintain a constant pressure.
