When the float drops to a certain level in the tank the well pump kicks on to fill it again to a certain level. Remember the tank is open (actually a lined pit) and not pressurized. I'm sure this is done in irrigation and cattle tanks? I will be dropping my 45 gpm flow to 2gpm or less to raise twice as many pounds of trout in an indoor recirculating system vs. the outdoor pond, but don't want to change out the well pump. Would like to expand the present 6 X 6 X 3 feet deep lined pit that the well dumps into to make it large enough that the 2 gpm only kicks on every 24 hours. Not sure what start up amperage is but I think running amps of the well pump is 20 amps if I remember right. Btw for my fellow hoosiers, according to a state political source I am privy too, Indiana legislators want to come up with a "water plan" in the not too distant future. Could be anything from new permits to water use fees. Fortunately the farm looby is strong here but I'll keep you posted. Last edited by Cecil Baird1; 12/17/13 01:09 PM. If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
