<br>
Nice to see your name here - Wrenches continues to be a fabulous
resource - some of us have been here close to 25 years!<br>
<br>
So check out: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnhUGGjv5WM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnhUGGjv5WM</a><br>
<br>
I don't have direct experience with this wireless sensor but it looks
solid: <a href="https://www.rpssolarpumps.com/">https://www.rpssolarpumps.com/</a><br>
<br>
A google search reveals some others that look less expensive so take a
look.<br>

</a>Hope that helps,<br>

Best<br>

Wrenches,<br><br>I\u2019ve mostly been trying to get away from pumping
systems but decided to take on a small solar direct Grundfos system for a
friend\u2019s mother that lives on my road. The well and ideal spot for the
array sits about 1000\u2019 away from the tanks and it\u2019s the typical scenario
of switching over an existing setup where all the plumbing lines have
been buried for many years so there is no opportunity to bury a conduit
or cable for the float switch conductors. I\u2019m aware of the reverse
action pressure switch strategy but do not want to pressure the fill
lines for multiple reasons. Also, the existing float switch wires do not
run all the way to the well head either even if I did want to rework
those and invert the logic with another relay elsewhere. For obvious
reasons I can\u2019t reassign the old power conductors to the pump either
since I need to keep those in place to use with the IO101 as backup.<br><br>I\u2019ve
installed many dozens of these systems over the years and have always
found a way around it but this job really begs for some sort of wireless
solution. I\u2019ve been off the Wrenches list for 10 years now so there are
many threads I\u2019ve not seen and figured maybe the group has come up with
a solution strategy for these scenarios by now? Obviously the age of
Wifi, Bluetooth etc has brought us many wireless solutions that did not
exist years ago so I\u2019m hopeful we now have an answer to these headaches?
Even if I needed to add a small battery system to power it.<br><br>Also
just want to say how much I appreciate this list. I rejoined a few
weeks ago after 10 years off of it and it is so great to see all the
familiar technicians here. Thank you to Michael and all of you, new and
old, for being part of the good fight to strive for quality and
integrity in this passion we all share. The planet needs us more than
ever and I feel fortunate for every one of you. This list is an
incredible resource!<br><br>Hope all of you have a great last few hours
of 2020 and a prosperous 2021! <br><br>Nick A Lucchese<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>List
