WELL WATER
I have not heard of a Coyote water system. Is it similar to this? 1700 gallons should definitely keep you in plenty of water.

Chief, I am just learning about this stuff...I'm guessing the following link is what the locals are talking about when they mention "coyote" system...it really is the switch that protects your well pump??

Earth, I'm still learning about how this system will work, but I guess instead of your well pump cycling on and off 20 times during a shower, it will only run once every two hours for example. Yes, you will have a much smaller pump in the storage tank pumping to my indoor pressure tank. Not sure about the operating costs...but they can't be as high as my wife's scream with a head full of shampoo and no water...

If you loose a pump or two when the well runs dry it might start looking like a bargon.

WELL WATER
This is the pump protection unit I have on both of my wells. They allow you to pull the maximum amount of water out of the well while protecting the pump in the event it runs dry. I have the reset/well recharge time set for 90 minutes. Franklin makes very good equipment and the Pumptec is well built as well. I have been using both of my units for almost 2 years now.

Ooooooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeees! The ol'e head full of shampoo or all soaped up scenario when the water runs out. ;O) Been there and done that a few times. Even gets better after the morning coffee, paper reading, "constitutional" and the water runs out. We now keep a few gallon jugs of water for such contingencies.

I've printed out that Pumptec page and will show it to the installer to see if he knows anything about this switch. Thanks for the info!

The installation was really easy. I installed both of them myself. All you need is basic tools and enough wire to place and wire the Pumptec unit in between pump pressure switch and the pump. You can get a low pressure pump switch but then you have to manually reset the low pressure pump switch each time it trips. The Pumptec will reset itself after the reset time you program it for.

WELL WATER
Blue: Something's not right from the sound of it with your pump cycling 20 times during a shower. Do you have an air-bladder reservoir tank? If yes, it may need to be recharged with air. If it's not the pump will cycle on/off rapidly like a car turn signal because the bladder is collapsed. Instead of the pump building pressure against the bladder it is building momentary pressure just inside the tank which is being released and built up quickly when you shower.
