I'm laying out my plans for my home irrigation system and have a question regarding water pumps. The pumps I have looked at all state that they can draw the water up from 26 feet. Does the output or

Depends on the pump, but 1/2 the volume is not uncommon. The pump maker should be able to supply this information. The 26 feet is only vertical, but there is also a penalty for flow resistance. The

OK, a really quick question... on the pressure switch for a normal residential water pump switch, is there a way to "factory zero" it? My water pressure drops way to much before the pump kicks back i

I don't have a well at my house, but I do at our summer cottage, so I can't look at the switch to verify this. I had this same problem and adjusted it to turn on at the required pressure, which acco

Jim has the correct answer. The box should have the adjustment directions. I'll just add that you want to have a blow-off valve as well. And if it's rated for a lower pressure than you're bumping you

The adjustments are actually more like "cut in" and "range between on and off". Adjusting the cut in screw will move the cut out pressure the same amount. When my last pressure switch became very err

OK, since we're talking about pumps ... How do I go about draining and refilling the system, in particular the pressure tank? I'm assuming that the tank is basically empty, the air pocket at the top

If it has a Schrader valve, then there's a very good chance it has a bladder inside to separate the air from the water. This makes the air cushion last far longer. I'm not sure of the correct proced

It's not pressurized to the cutoff pressure - the bladder's there to help push the water out - giving you more pressure in a smaller tank. You measure it when the tank is empty and a regular tire gau
