Jan.30,2010Once it's all connected the boys made a quick test to be sure the pump would operate and ran it to see how much flow we had. They ran the pump a good 30 minutes with no shortage of water.pklongball

Jan.30,2010I'm holding the pressure switch that will operate the pump control. I saw no brand name or where it was made and the install booklet disappeared before I could find it. But I know it will start the pump at about 20 psi and stop it at about 55 psi.pklongball
