How to properly control the starter box for a deep well pump?

Its tasks include starting and stopping the pump and protecting the device against overheating. However, it does not protect the engine against the so-called dry running, i.e. dry running. Having a starting capacitor outside the engine allows you to quickly identify and repair a possible failure.

How to choose the right submersible pump?

The submersible well pump must be sized to fit the tank so that there is little clearance to avoid deformations of the well pipe. In addition, the submersible pump is selected according to the depth of the well, the distance of the tank from the building and the minimum height of the water table. These data allow you to determine the necessary pump discharge height and the appropriate depth of immersion of the device in the well. In the case of very deep tanks, it may be necessary to purchase a specialized submersible pump.

When choosing a submersible pump, you should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the water in the well. For example, the presence of sand may require the installation of a device with increased resistance to damage, equipped with rotors and filters. When purchasing a submersible pump, it is worth purchasing accessories that increase the functionality and comfort of use of the installation, e.g. a hydrophore tank or an automatic controller with an inverter.
