Some Free Advice If you experience problems with your
storage tank system
there are several things that you can do to try to fix your well.
- Check the water level in the storage tank. If the water level is
about 1/3 full, then flip the bypass switch marked reserve. The switch
is locating on the side of the large gray electrical box. The system
will deliver the remaining water in the tank until Bee Cave Drilling can fix
the well. Please use water sparingly and contact us for service.
- If the tank is more than half full, then check the pressure switch. Make sure that the points
are closed and that there are no ants in the contacts. You can clean the
contacts with an emery board or sand paper. Make sure that you turn off the
power to the switch before cleaning. Mothballs will help to keep ants out of
the pressure switch.
- If the tank is low on water, you can try to fix the submersible pump (in
the well). Check the overloads on the control box. If you have a box that looks
like the one on the right, there are either one or two red reset buttons on
the bottom. You have to push hard (10 pounds of pressure) to make them
reset. If they were tripped, you will hear a definite “click” sound. Make
sure and reset both if you have two.
- If you have a constant pressure controller, look at the lights on the
front of the unit. If the red light is blinking, count the blinks and
refer to the chart on the side of the unit. You can reset the unit by
turning off the power to the unit for 5 minutes. If the fault
continues, call us and tell us which fault you are experiencing.
- If you still have no water, turn off the breakers to the well and call
us for service.
