I use my well to keep my pond topped off. I was looking for a way for it to stop flowing when it’s full and start flowing when it drops to save me the hassle of Turing the flow on and off all the time.

I found these online and ordered the 3/4 inch one. It does not flow enough as the internal opening is much smaller than 3/4 inch. Other than that is perfect.

I cannot find one like it that is made for larger flow rate.

One thing I need to consider is my well flows a good volume but a low pressure so I do not have the pressure to push through small diameter.

Any Ideas on where to find something like this made for larger flow rate with larger diameter openings...

Good way to burn your pump up.
What happens is the wind will blow the float up and down causing the pump to turn on and off all day long, until you're replacing a submersible pump.

Drill holes in a piece of pipe, set the pipe into the pond bottom where the holes are beneath the surface, and place the valve inside the pipe. No wind, and a stable water level.

These guys? http://www.keckley.com/float-lever-valves.html

I dont have a pump.
POnd is too small to have big enough waives to trigger open and close , but no pump so its not an issue any way.

its a free flowing well

Bobby:

What do you mean it's a free flowing well?

Do you think one of these would work?

Probably a spring or something like that that the flow is not contained.

I was thinking artesian well.

Could be, but it appears not to be contained.

yes its a free flowing artesian well. I have an open and close valve at the well head. the issue is Im always turning open and close.

If I had some sort of float valve at the pond it would open and close dependant on the water level.

edit:
here is the well when it was first installed.

here it is flowing into the pond. I have since added a rduction fitting to make it comptessed into a stream with a little more pressure so it shoots into the air.

here is the spout



not sure why the first two are not embedding

Bobby, the valve that I linked to in the Stoney Creek catalog should work for you.

It looked like it, I just wonder how big the opening internally is on the largest one. the well has good volume of flow but not much pressure to push through small openeing and maintain the volume I need.

I'll research those more, Thanks I had not found those in my search...

Bobby, the page has the psi and flow rates. If you can find a chart of pipe sizes with flow and psi maybe you can correlate the sizes? They are on EST if you want to call them.

thank you..
