Hi all,
I have installed a 220v. Pump motor and am currently controlling it with a 220 switch. Set-up is a simple one: no tank, turn pump on and off when I want to water the garden. Is it possible to install a 110v or 24v switch/solenoid to control motor? The goal is to have a less obtrusive switch/box mounted near the hose bib and not have to run additional #10-UF cable to this location.
Thanks, packrat

Well, you could install a pressure switch on the line, just as you would on a tank. Then you wouldn't have to do anything but open the faucet.

Yes, you could use a low voltage coil contactor to replace the switch. Then it's a matter of running a low voltage circuit consisting of a transformer and remote switch. Sounds like you already know what to do. Make sure the contactor is in a dry location and enclosed to keep critters out.

Thanks Missouri, HK,
Both answers have helped. I have just enough electrical acumen to realize my limitations, but with reading and asking questions of those with more expertise, I have successfully completed a handful of projects.
Was wondering if y'all could elaborate on your answers?
Respectfully, packrat

If it were me, I would replace the current switch with a double pole 24v coil contactor of sufficient rating to handle the load. I would put this in a box with a 24 volt control transformer. Then run my low voltage wires to a waterproof control mounted near the hydrant / spigot. But then again, I just might put a pressure switch on the pump as HK said... then it's always ready when I am. Are you using a tank system or just the pump? If just the pump you would probably need to add a pressure tank to make the pressure switch work as it should.

Hi MB, no tank, just the pump piped to the spigot. Are the 24v coil contactor and transformer, items that would be available at a Home Depot or Lowe's?

A well pressure switch, such as shown, would turn the pump on when you opened the faucet (pressure drops on pipe just like it does in a tank). Switch turns pump off when you close faucet and pressure returns to cut off pressure.

You would have to put a tee in piping, bush the side port down to 1/4" and attach copper tubing to switch.

Wiring would essentially the same as the manual switch you have now. You are using a 240V double throw switch, aren't you?

Hk, affirmative on the 240 dble. Pull switch, will look into the pressure switch/plumbing scheme. Should be do-able with my skill sets
Thanks

Look around, you may be able to find a version that simply screws on to 1/4" pipe.

... and the pressure switch you should definitely find at Home Depot or Lowe's... or any good hardware store.
