We have a 140l/min volume washer pump with a 2.65kw motor on a pressure switch that supplies 2 header tanks and 4 water troughs around our robotic milking system.
The pump is fed from a 5000l clean water tank which always has plenty of water in it.
We are finding that the pressure switch on the pump is kicking out of service randomly possibly a couple of times every 24 hrs or so, this is leading to a lack of water for the system at some points during the day/night.
The pump was serviced and a new seal kit installed and a new pressure switch fitted as the same problem was occurring with the original pressure swith, which leads me to think it is a pump issue.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as it is becoming a pain in the butt !!!
