or does it only do switching on/off at full pump output?


switching on/off I believe, there isn't much literature on it. Can't see how it would modulate frequency anyway, and if it could, certainly the sinusoid wouldn't be clean.

Re: Which residential water pump to buy?

Hey 2nrs, Need a transfer pump to send water from the lower tanks to upper tanks. Do I really need to install a smart head or I can just manually put it on and off? :?: No smart head needed just fill until your upper tanks overflow and then manually switch off. I'm guessing you're using a hose or s...

Re: Which residential water pump to buy?

Any reviews on the Ingco 3/4hp water pump over the Pentax 3/4hp? if you can, always look at the performance curves. 3/4 hp are not all created equal. A Xylem (legacy Goulds) pump at the same hp will outperform an equivalent Pentax in terms of flow. That being said, theoretical curves are for ideal ...

Re: Buying a Mini

If it's not going to be your primary car, then go for it assuming you really do love it.

If it becomes a money pit, you can always park it up or sell it along. I don't think it's the ideal project car experience for Trinidad though.

If you press the needle on the air "insect" on your pressure tank and you don't hear air coming out, the pressure tank is faulty. If the pressure drops below acceptable while running as you say, it sounds like the pressure switch is set incorrectly. If it is cycling very fast, it's probabl...
