I want to use this machine to a water Well pump, 1/2 hp. I want the pump start when the level is hight And the pump stop when the level is low.

I have used mine for 6 months outdoors and is working fine. But i would have bought the 6100 (outdoors version) had I known about it.

This machine has worked very well for us. It was a solution to a 38yr. water problem. Goes on and off automatically.

Works well for a sump pump but not sure how it would work for a well. Not sure the lengths of the sensor leads would be appropriate for that purpose.

This switch would be perfect for that application. Note, however, that the switch isn't rated for outdoor use, so you would have to protect the control module from getting wet. We do have an outdoor version of the switch, the HC6100, that is available from our website. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help with.

I am not using the pump in that type of configuration. Suggest you look at the specs to figure this out.

1.5 HP is the rating of the horsepower of your pump, not the electrical ratings i.e. 120/220 volts and 15/20 amps. This is rated for 15A. however the full ratings for this, state 1HP http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Pool_and_Spa/Specialty_Controls/Portable_Outdoor_Timers/P1100_Series/P1131.aspx which im guessing is refering to the pump it will be connected to. It doesnt make sense to rate electrical equipment like this with HP.

It can use it if you have a water cooler, the machine amps do not require the use of a cooler. Coolers are needed over 200 amps

Yes, that is how mine is set up (pump is on the second floor though). As long as the water can circulate in a loop, you should not have any problem. I believe that "head", in this case, is referring more to resistance than actual height. This pump is just made to move water, not pressurize it, so it should work at any height as long as the water is "falling" back down to where it is drawn from without much resistance. At least that's how I understand it.

a little over 5 will be enough. The level shold always be checked with the ram of the cylynder retracted fully and the pump not running. the tank willhold much more but the site window will show full and the machine will operate properly with between 6 and 7 gal. of hydrolic fluid.

it has to be below the water or inline with the water source...it's not a self priming pumps!

It would work. But I think u should go to 500 gph or higher. These pumps were made to pump short distances

It should not matter where you turn the water on. The control turns the well pump on at 30psi and then shuts off at 50 or 60psidepending on the control setting. Depending how much water is running the pressure switch will cycle on and off which is normal.

I have the Hayward Super Pump. Not sure of the HP it was dark when I got home tonight. I'll check it and let your know.

Since the pump current is only switched by this, 1/2 HP is fine. It works great. Get the Zoeller 10‑0763 Aquanot Flood Alert (about $20 online) and some lithium batteries, to go with the replacement setup - especially if you have a finished basement, it's cheap insurance.

The pump should run at the timer settings. I would think if it runs as you state, either the timer or pump is bad. I suggest new pump.

If you are running a 12-volt system, you can run this pump. It generates good pressure and smooth flow with less noise than cheaper pumps. It stops when the tap is turned off. Good by me.

No,This Float Starts The Pump When The Water Reaches AFull Level, Called Normally Open Circuit. You Want A Float That Shuts Off The Pump At A Full Level And Starts When Low Level, Called Normally c

My variable speed has saved me money by only using speed that is needed. A lower HP motor is set at factory setting and you cannot make changes for peak useage. I'm very happy with my pump because one nite we had a drop in temp and when I went outside the pump was running in what it called freeze mode to protect itself from freezing. Most pool shops may not be up to date on this type of pump...... It will cost more....but I think you will save the money in the long run.

I have a 13,500gal. I have no issues. I am running a 1 1/2hp pump. I already had this pump. I believe I could go lower. IMO I think it would be fine.

I don't think this can pull from that depth.....probably talking 1/2hp well pump power.
