Five Star Pump - Five Star Customer Service

I bought this 1/2 Horse Wayne Shallow Well Pump to pump reverse osmosis water from a surface storage tank with a volume of to pump 65 gallons. I am impressed with both the smooth operation of this pump and the GPM pressure it puts out. One thing I learned is that while a typical diaphragm tank installation configuration has counter flow in a 3/4 line between the pump and the pressure tank. , usually installed at the inlet of the tank T. a pressure switch MUST (in this configuration) be placed on the T-tank Since the 1/2 Horse Wayne Shallow Water Pump comes with a pressure switch on the pump, a backflow preventer is installed between the pump and the tank without moving the pressure switch that essentially disconnects the pressure vessel from the pressure switch and causes the pump to cycle on/off quickly. So if you fancy having a backflow preventer in the line from the pump to the head tank. then the pressure switch must be located AFTER the backflow protection on the tank. I hope this helps as many hydraulic tank setup guides show a reverse flow configuration between pump and tank. but you will also find that the pressure switch on the TI tank should also tell you how impressed I am with Wayne Pumps customer service! I called support twice trying to set up my system. Both times they not only worked patiently with me, but also told me that if there was something wrong with the pump, I should send it back to Revain and order a new one. It's nice to work with a company that easily supports their product! I definitely recommend Wayne Pump's products!
