How To Safeguard Your Well Pump

Protecting your well water pump is crucial since there are chances that your well might dry out or, due to abnormal voltage supply, it might become faulty. 

For this purpose, motor protection is essential. Many times on submersible water systems, people spend a considerable amount of money; yet ignore the protection device for their motors. 

There can be situations that might destroy your water system and, in turn, can cost you a lot of money. It can be avoided through a motor protection device.

So in poor conditions like low-flow wells, power mishaps, clogging or pump damage motor protection device will prevent failure of the motor or pump since it will monitor motor load and take action if something goes wrong.

One such motor protection system is offered by Pumptec family from Franklin electric. So even in the depth of your well Pumptec is highly efficient in protecting your pump.

In case there is a fault, the motor is stopped by Pumptec for a preset time so that the fault can be repaired during this time. So in all the situations mentioned below, your pump stays safe:

·       Abnormal line voltage: if the voltage supply is 10% higher or lower than the rated voltage, the motor is turned off by Pumptec.

It can prevent the occurrence of any electrical problems in your motor.

·       Rapid cycling: A fault in the pressure switch or pressure tank might cause the motor to turn on and off way too frequently, which can cause some damage to the system. So whenever this happens, Pumptec stops the motor’s power supply.

·       Under load: A loose impeller, blocked inlet, stuck or closed value or low water level may cause your well to dry out. In that scenario, there is under load, and the water moving is less than it generally is. So the motor is turned off by Pumptec when there is such a scenario.

·       Excessive load: Pumptec will stop the motor’s power supply if the motor is overload due to clogging or sand, or other sediments.
