Well pump repair in Ponte Vedra on constant-pressure irrigation systems

What changes in Ponte Vedra
A constant-pressure irrigation system holds one pressure across a dozen zones by varying the pump's speed, and the controller that does it has its own faults: a pressure sensor that drifts, a fault code from a dry-run trip, a capacitor in the drive. Those read as a pump problem and are not one. Call Flamingo reads the controller before anything is pulled.
Where the system is a conventional one and the fault is the usual switch, tank or box, that is handled the same way as anywhere, with the tank sized to the largest zone rather than to a house.
How the job runs
How a pump fault is found
The pump is the last suspect, not the first. Testing runs from the breaker to the pressure switch, then the pressure tank's air charge with the pump off, then the control box, then the amp draw on the pump circuit. Each step clears a component or finds the fault, and the reading is shown before any part is replaced. Switches, gauges, tanks, control boxes, capacitors, relays, wiring, check valves and above-ground plumbing are repairs; a submersible motor that has failed electrically is a replacement, sized to the well's completion report rather than to the pump that came out.
Straight answers
Well Pump Repair questions from Ponte Vedra
The constant-pressure controller shows a fault. Is the pump gone?
Usually not. The controller is read first, and the sensor or a dry-run trip is the common finding.
Why does the small zone short-cycle the pump?
The tank is too small for it, or the controller is not set to it. Both are adjustments.
