Thank you very much! I am a DIYer, new to (off-grid) well pumps and I very much appreciate your detailed info. It turns out that my start capacitor was bad. After replacing it and cleaning all connections, I have water pumping again! My 1/2hp, 115v, 3 wire Franklin pump and control box are 27yrs old! Bill, Calif. Sierra Nevada mtns.
Hey buddy.. I'm your pilipino fans here..
Thanks for sharing your knowledge to may people.. and God bless you,
Thanks for watching!
Would be great if you explained the wiring with a float attached to pump.
My question exactly
How do you wire this with a 230v configuration?
Awesome, exactly what i needed to know, doing first one tomorrow and was wondering about loading and control box, thanks!
Great to hear!
me too!
does the power wires from the electrical box go to the pressure switch?
Hi again - in the video the lid of the lid of the box is sitting on the counter- it too has some electronic components - but those must not be important cause you didn't mention them either... and did you just say if your colour wires don't match, "you'll just have to figure it out..." humm, hope the shed doesn't burn down.
I'm with you on this, this video is of absolutely no value.
Thank you SO much for this video! It was perfect for my needs!
Glad it was helpful!
Very well explained. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Where is the Romex clamp for the AC inlet wiring? No cable clamp on the output wiring either?
can a 1 hp franklin electric control box work on a 1/2 hp pump?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Happy to help!
I still have the old generation Franklin control box. Where would you connect a float switch. Or alternatively can I just connect it in series in line of my life wire to fill a water tank.
thank you brother
You're welcome!
Hi - did I see you have your ground wire attached to the side of the box which is attached to a wood wall backing. So how is that grounded exactly? Maybe given the water+elctricity thing grounding might be important and you might edit you video to mention it.
@RCworstwater Can you show how to wire in a shared well? We have a design approved to share a well with 1 pump. Each residence has a 81 gal pressure tank. We need to know how to connect to pump and allow a demand to turn on the well pump. Can you share a video or resource. Thank you
Thanks
Welcome
Wonderful work. More professional my friend
Good afternoon, how many Mf is the capacitor?
Buena tarde,, ¿el capacitor de cuantos Mf es?
Dose the well pump need to be in the water for this to work? 💦🙄
What happens if you put the white wire where the black goes in the black wire where the white goes. ?
It doesn't make a difference which wire you put on L1 and L2
does it matter the order of L1, L2? - I've seen another video were they are reversed.
I jus wanna kno how to cut open to holes so I can run my wires
There are knockouts on the bottom
Can these be used on any pump motor that doesn't have a capacitor start built in? I have a 3/4 horse jet pump motor that doesn't have a capacitor, can I use one of these?
I would recommend you contact the manufacturer of your motor and ask for their recommendation, you need to be sure the capacitors are the correct size.
Okay thanks.
I have a three wire setup now. I'm changing the pump to a two wire. Can I splice the hot and neutral from the control box to the new two wire pump?

Why water poring out from QD control box?
What is the front of the box for? Can you swap the front for a different brand?
Yes, as long as the HP and voltage match they are interchangeable.
Where are the Spade connectors? Bare wire in a spade terminal is a no no
Is the control box delivering 3 X 110V phases from one 110V phase?
No. 3 phase is the source power in industrial settings only. A 110 volt system will have that one phase of power. A capacitor will prompt the motor to turn in the desired direction, by adding the 'stored' energy from AC on to the 'starter' leg of the pump so as to draw up water, not spin backwards in water.
Hi RC Worst (Mr. Chris) this is my well pump specification: Myers 2NFL51-8-P4 Submersible Stainless-Steel Pump 8 GPM 0.5 HP 115V 2-Wire 1PH.
I have BLACK, WHITE and GROUND from the Circuit board. And I have BLACK, WHITE (NOT YELLOW), and RED from the well pump. Well pump is now running fine without a Control Box and wires are connected as (BLACK from circuit board + BLACK from well pump) + (WHITE from circuit board + RED from pump) and (GROUND from circuit board + WHITE from pump).
I want to setup a Franklin control box. Please help me what type of Control Box I need (What would be HP and Voltage)
And how can I connect the wires with the control box? Remember: I don't have YELLOW from the pump, mine is white.
Thank you so very much for the helpful videos on CZcams. Stay Safe! Hoping to get an answer from you soon.
OK. Mr. The wire electric power are 3
And must be 2 black conected together L 1 , L 2
And another one should be green , it's neutral .
Color code?
If your points are sticking and the whale won't come on with it the well the motor
Really a useless video and a waste of time, rather show how to test the leads of the motor to determine the common, run and start wire, common to start has higher resistance than common to run, I often see burnt out single phase motors because people have no clue how to connect them or how to use a simple multimeter to determine what wire is what. To simply say "if you have different colours you will have to figure out which wire is which" 0:35 without giving even a simple explanation (and it is very simple to do it) is useless.
Philip Koen. Excellent point. I may have just smoked my 1/2 horse pump for that very reason. Thank you for your comment. Got a page?
@@brucemarmy8500 Sorry, no page.
Tested it. It works. TY Philip
White is neutral???
On the 115V setup, yes.
What if it is a 230v set up
@@RCworstwater what if it is a 240v set up
