We usually use timer relays so that the pump will only run x minutes out of the hr, timed so that the well has sufficient time to recharge between pump runs.
Wouldn't artificially increasing the pressure by a restriction valve cause the pump to use more energy? I have never tried that that was suggested in other comments.

I’ve got a well that is just on 1 gpm, around 150’ lift. the sqflex 3-2 will do it, but at 3gpm with full watts, an amazing 265 watts. thx jay peltz power _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
