    Pressure switches for wells
    Gentlemen,
    How can I switch pumping from onw well to the second well when the first runs low on water? Is it in electrical wiring? In the number of pressure switches (one or two)?
    I have two wells and neither can provide sufficient water supply, but together they should be sufficient. How can this be done?

    Why not let one pressure switch run both pumps? They would both run at the same time, but would only be delivering "half the load".
