Old well casing suspect, still works but customer had a whole new well drilled right next to it, of course with it's own well pump. Same model pump & controller. Wants to keep both wells going by plumbing both to the pressure tanks.
So now there's two wells side by side, two pumps, one pressure switch in the garage, one feeder running out there.
So can the original controller operate both pumps? Or can I install the second controller side by side electrically paralleled to bump up the current on the one feeder for the two pumps, and parallel the pumps? Supply conductors out to the original well are well within the combined pump load.
Trench between the two wells would be short, but back to the garage is major. I'll get a call in to Franklin Electric also of course.
