I tried to say, I like Cabo Wabo as my baseline tequila. My splurge used to be El Tesoro but it got pricey.

I hate tapatalk. I pay for the pro version and it is crap and does this with posts all the time

Cabo Wabo is my baseline tequila. It used to be owned by Sammy Hagar but he sold it almost...

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...
