Solar powered Electric water pump, float switch problems?
I have a solar plant, that runs a well, that fills up a 6000 gallon tank. The tank has a float switch in it. A couple days ago i noticed the tank was empty, and cannot get the pump to come on. It seems the fuses are ok, and i have moved the float switch around with a stick trying to get it to come on. Does anone have any other ideas on how to fix this problem?
Hi James,
I've run into this so many times I've lost count. Your float switch has most likely died. I know this sounds unfair, but the average life of a float switch is about 2 years. When replacing yours, DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON-LINE to find the most dependable model available for your application.
I'm sorry, but without more information on the voltage/configuration of your system, I can't recommend one for you.
