Default Water pressure booster pump won't start consistently - do yourebuild the bearings?

That's a good call probably on the low-capacity well and reason for
storage tank(s)--I'm not used to having to do that; there's always
plenty of water in a hole here for domestic wells...so the trickle over
longer time concept doesn't come into play and don't actively think
about that kind of installation.Â* The level/float switch then does make
perfect sense to control the actual pump.


Wonder if he knows what the down-hole pump capacity/HP rating
is...that'd give an idea what its output is.

The new well here put out 75 gpm w/ an almost wore-out oilfield 10 hp
rig for the test/cleanout run...it probably has at least 3X the
capacity; put a 3 in the hole that's between 25-30 gpm which is plenty
for the house and cattle...
