A controller for a well system automatically profiles the system, detects a pre-charge of an associated pressurized storage tank, and automatically configures pressure-based control of a pump based on the detected pre-charge. The controller determines the pre-charge of the pressurized storage tank while the tank is connected to the system. While monitoring a system pressure, the controller activates the pump to initiate a filling operation of the pressurized storage tank. The controller analyzes a change in system pressure during the filling operation to determine the pre-charge of the pressurized storage tank. With the pre-charge determined, the controller automatically configures pressure settings for pressure-based control of the pump.

A general-purpose engine control device capable of improving operation efficiency when transferring a liquid using a plurality of liquid pumps and containers. In a liquid transfer system that transfers water of a river to a container by way of a liquid pump, a container, a liquid pump, and a liquid pump in this order, an engine device has a communication interface for performing communication with another engine device, and transmits, after the driving of a liquid pump is started, start instruction information instructing the start of driving a liquid pump to an engine device installed next to the liquid pump on a downstream side in a water transferring direction on the basis of information indicating a driving record of the liquid pump. In an engine pump having received the start instruction information, the driving of the liquid pump is started.

A method for the desalination of water, carried out in one embodiment on the basis of a borehole (4) in permeable coastal land, in which two internal wells (5, 6) are interconnected at the bottom, by means of a membrane packet (9), disposed such that the supply flow provided via the borehole (4) flows in a downward direction by the suction of a motor pump (7) installed at a shallow depth inside the well (5), with an ascending flow, pouring same to the marine outlet and the diluted flow (permeate) drains from the membrane packets (9) to the second well (6), which is hollow and at atmospheric pressure, where a motor pump (8) extracts the permeate for the use thereof, while in another embodiment the membrane packets (15) may be disposed in ducts hanging from a floating platform anchored in the sea or other salty water.

A well water system includes a pressure switch adapted to monitor air pressure within a pressure tank, rather than water pressure within plumbing. The pressure switch is connected directly to the pressure tank by a tank adaptor in fluid communication with the pressurized air inside the tank. With the tank adaptor directly connecting the pressure tank to the pressure switch, the pump is actuated based on air pressure changes within the tank rather than water pressure changes in the plumbing. The pressure switch is calibrated to activate the pump when the air pressure within the pressure tank drops below a predetermined pressure, which correlates to a certain water pressure within the system. When the air pressure within the pressure tank is restored to a predetermined maximum, the pressure switch deactivates the pump having filled the tank to the desired maximum water threshold.

The invention relates to a method and means for diluting or concentrating solutions, applied to processes for the desalination of water, characterised by being carried out on the basis of a borehole (4) in permeable coastal land, where two internal wells (5, 6) are installed producing three channels that are interconnected at the bottom, by means of a membrane packet (9), disposed such that the supply flow towards the membranes and provided via the borehole (4) flows in a downward direction, generated, using the principle of communicating vessels, by the suction of a motor pump (7) installed at a shallow depth inside the well of the concentrate (5), with an ascending flow, pouring same to the marine outlet and the diluted flow (permeate) drains to the second well (6), which is hollow and at atmospheric pressure, where a motor pump (8) extracts the permeate for the use thereof. The method can be used for dilution and/or concentration with minimal energy costs, both on land and on the sea bed on a floating platform (11) or cliff.

A pump and control system for distributing a fluid from a source location to one or more remote locations. At least one of the remote locations can be at an elevation higher than that of the source location. The system may have a power source, a controller, and one or more fluid storage vessels. The system also may have a distribution piping and one or more monitoring devices to sense fluid pressure corresponding to fluid fill levels in the one or more fluid storage vessels. The system additionally can have a pump that automatically provides fluid to the one or more fluid storage vessels at the remote locations through the distribution piping.

Adjustable system for pumping water with self-priming pump consists of check valve (9), flexible plastic hose (7), water container (6), pump (10), power supply(16), drain hose (12) and it is necessary to fill the hose (7) with water over the switch (8) before exploitation and then lower the full system into the well (1).

A self-contained well water system is designed to be interposed between an external well pump and a plumbing system of a building. The system requires an installer or building owner to make only three basic connections for fully-functional operation: a single water inlet connection from the well pump to the well water system, a single water outlet connection from the well water system to a main input line of the building plumbing system, and a single power connection to provide electrical power to the electrical components of the system, and may also distribute power out to the well pump. The remaining components and the connections therebetween are configured and factory-assembled for maximum performance and efficiency.
