Plain-pack dry run pump switch..... [RE-wrenches]

[John]

Hi Jay,

The dry run switch is to protect the pump in case that the pump draws more
than the well can deliver, ie - the recharge rate of the well could be slow
at times.

Therefore I'm not considering the storage tank which can be fitted with a
float switch anyway.

Low amps - I forgot to mention its a submersible pump, likes of Shurflo 9300
or equivalent.

Array direct - therefore trying to avoid battery back-up.

                            thanks,                John V
