They look at the amps the motor is drawing. Dry well protectors do no have a timer for how long the pump runs. You are making this way harder than it should be. If anyone could point me in a direction to finding something to fit within these requirements, that'd be most excellent.
Deep work timer manual#
Manual override would be nice, but not at all necessary in the meantime, I'm hitting up anyone anywhere that would have experience/knowledge and kind enough to point me to some options I've got feelers out with one supplier in Indiana if he can find something, but that's a wait game. same with similar units from other manufacturers like tork, diehl, and dayton, etc. so far, I've had no luck with eBay or online retailers in finding used or old stock inventory.
furthermore, drilling to repair or for a new one was and still is way too expensive.)Īll intermatic C8800 models are obsolete/discontinued as are the replacement motors for them. the well collapsed burying that pump and reducing the depth by 20-30ft. (this all is because of our well's reduced capacity from when they were blasting/building the nearby interstate. with testing, I've found the well can sometimes/maybe handle 1 minute intervals every 20 minutes, but the former arrangement seems safer during drier seasons.
as you'd guess, the gears on the timer motor are worn from age, but with a little lubrication i manage to make it work, again.though, i really just need to replace it.įor the last 15yrs, I've had the timer set up to trip at 30sec intervals every 15 minutes on a one hour cycle to continuously feed a 300 gal tank. (I do have a float switch to cut off before completely empty). the intermatic C8865 I've been using has been seizing up and then we are nearly out of water in our storage tank. mechanical > digital, but whatever i have to do. I'm looking for a timer that will function within rather specific and necessary on/off parameters. today, I'm here needing to make a repair. New to the forum as a member, but been here many times over the years seeking info on well systems in times of set up or repair needs.
