Short cycle alarm
Got water again. SHMBO is happy. I guess I'll never teach her to crap
in a bucketVBG I feel kind of dumb. The control box has motor overloads. Only had the pump since '82 and didn't know that. At least it was a cheap fix. OK, the problem was short cycling. Air bladders out of air and pump running 15 seconds to make pressure. I'd like to build a better mouse trap. I'm thinking of a short cycle alarm. Get a timer relay that trips when power is applied. If power drops before timer runs out, apply power to buzzer. Should be just a few relays and wiring. But my brain is pea size when it comes to EE logic. Can somebody draw this up? Or, I'm open to another idea. Karl |
