A cold kitchen tap and a silent pressure gauge at 6:10 a.m. is a rough way to start the day. No water for coffee, no water for school lunches, and livestock waiting at the trough. That’s the reality when a well system hiccups—especially if the previous pump wasn’t sized right or was installed without proper priming and start-up. In my decades of service calls, the fastest road back to reliable water is a careful, methodical start-up—done right the first time.
Meet the Ayalas—Luis Ayala (39), a high school science teacher, and his spouse, Miriam (38), a veterinary tech. They live on 12 acres outside Grangeville, Idaho with their kids, Sofia (10) and Mateo (7). Their 240-foot well had been running a budget 3/4 HP unit that struggled to maintain pressure for household use plus a small pasture hydrant. After the old Hallmark Industries pump seized during a heat wave, their water went to zero overnight. With iron staining, occasional sand, and fluctuating summer drawdown, Luis called PSAM, and I recommended a Myers Predator Plus Series 1 HP, 10 GPM, multi-stage submersible matched to their total dynamic head (TDH) and demand profile. He wanted instructions to prime and start the new Myers pump safely—and keep it that way for 15+ years.
This guide is the exact checklist I walked the Ayalas through: from verifying system components and electrical safety, to establishing a water column prime, to purging air and grit, to dialing in your pressure switch. Along the way, I’ll explain why Myers Pumps—especially the Predator Plus Series with 300 series stainless, Teflon-impregnated staging, and Pentek XE motors—are built for tough wells and long service. We’ll compare select competitors where it matters, outline pressure tank setup, and finish with a pro-level FAQ.
Let’s get your well back on line—safely and with confidence.
#1. Confirm System Readiness and Safety Lockout – Pressure Tank, Pressure Switch, and 230V Single-Phase Check
A safe, clean start begins with controls verified, tank pre-charged correctly, and power isolated. Most failures I see trace back to rushed prep or an unverified electrical run.
The heart of this prep: verify your pressure tank, pressure switch, and incoming power. Myers submersibles like the Predator Plus pair with single-phase 230V circuits and run at best when upstream wiring, breaker rating, and ground connections are correct. Confirm your tank’s pre-charge is 2 PSI below cut-in (for 40/60 PSI, set to 38 PSI). Inspect the tank tee and relief valve. Verify the pressure switch points are clean and set to your desired range—40/60 is typical for residential; 30/50 for shallow systems or older plumbing.
The Ayalas had a 44-gallon diaphragm tank with a sagging pre-charge at 26 PSI—far below spec. We corrected it to 38 PSI, cleaned the pressure switch contacts, and replaced a corroded ground lug. Small details, huge payoff.
Pre-Charge the Pressure Tank
A diaphragm tank must match your pressure switch. Shut off power, drain the system at the boiler drain on the tank tee, and use a tire gauge to set the tank’s air side to 2 PSI below cut-in. This ensures the pump doesn’t short-cycle and protects the motor from heat.
Verify Pressure Switch Settings and Contacts
Open the switch cover. Confirm 40/60 or 30/50 springs are set uniformly. Clean light corrosion with a contact file. Replace severely pitted switches. A clean, accurate switch reduces pump cycling and stabilizes flow.
Electrical Lockout and Voltage Confirmation
At the service panel, lock out the dedicated breaker. Confirm 230V at the line side of the switch with a multimeter. Verify proper ground and bonding at the tank tee, switch, and control box (for 3-wire systems). Safety first—no exceptions.
Key takeaway: A careful 15-minute system check protects your new Myers Pump investment and prevents nuisance trips or rapid cycling on day one.
#2. Verify Pump Sizing and TDH – Use Pump Curve, GPM Rating, and Best Efficiency Point (BEP)
Starting a pump that’s undersized or oversped for the well is asking for hot motors and poor pressure. Sizing against a pump curve—not guesses—puts your Myers Predator Plus at its best efficiency point (BEP), right where energy use is lowest and the motor runs cool.
For the Ayalas’ 240-foot well, we measured static water level at 80 feet and estimated drawdown to 120 feet based on past data. Their 1 HP Predator Plus at 10 GPM delivers the needed head: lift from dynamic water level, plus friction losses in 1-1/4" NPT drop pipe, plus house pressure. At 60 PSI (≈138 feet head) and 120 feet lift with pipe losses, the total came out near 300–320 feet TDH, right inside the sweet spot for the selected staging.
Map Your TDH
Total Dynamic Head = vertical lift (to dynamic level) + pressure head (PSI x 2.31) + friction loss + minor losses (fittings). Don’t forget elevation changes to fixtures like second-floor bathrooms.
Choose the Right GPM and Horsepower
Homes need 7–12 GPM typically. Irrigation or livestock pushes that higher. Match 1/2 HP, 3/4 HP, 1 HP, or 1.5 HP to curve performance at your TDH. Myers offers staging options to hit the mark without over-amping.
Confirm Wire Size and Amperage Draw
Use a wire gauge sized to motor amperage and run length to prevent voltage drop. Undersized conductors create heat and shorten life. Myers/Pentair spec sheets list max draws—follow them.
Key takeaway: Hitting the BEP makes your Myers run cooler, longer, and cheaper—start-up success begins with correct sizing.
#3. Prep the Wellhead Hardware – Pitless Adapter, Drop Pipe, Check Valve, and Cable Management
Mechanical integrity matters. A properly seated pitless adapter, tight drop pipe threads, and an inline check valve prevent air intrusion and backflow—two enemies of priming and stable pressure.
Myers Predator Plus submersibles include an internal check valve, but I recommend a secondary spring-check topside to protect against water hammer and to keep the column set. For the Ayalas, we installed a brass 1-1/4" check above the pitless, installed a torque arrestor, and zip-tied the cable to the drop pipe every 8–10 feet with a cable guard at the motor.
Inspect and Grease Pitless Seals
Mineral buildup or damaged O-rings can cause suction leaks. Clean mating surfaces and apply silicone grease to O-rings. A true seal prevents air entrainment and pressure loss.
Threaded Joints and Pipe Support
Use thread sealant rated for potable water. Support the drop pipe to avoid undue stress on the pitless. Align the safety rope properly—no snag points, no abrasion risk.
Electrical Splice Integrity
Heat-shrink wire splice kit connections should be clean and fully sealed. Water inside a splice causes intermittent faults that mimic pump failure. Redo any suspect joints now.
Key takeaway: Stable plumbing and sealed connections mean fewer calls later. The Myers pump will do its job; give it clean, airtight pathways to deliver.
#4. Prime Strategy for Jet and Submersible Systems – What “Priming” Really Means Here
Terminology trips up a lot of folks. A submersible deep well pump like the Myers Predator Plus doesn’t “prime” in the same way as a jet pump. It sits in water and is self-priming by design. What we prime is the discharge line and system so we don’t trap air pockets, cavitate, or hammer the tank.
For the Ayalas, the prime process meant slowly filling the tank tee and line through a purge port, bleeding air out fixtures, then starting the submersible at an open faucet until flow stabilized. For jet pumps (shallow or convertible), we would fill the casing and suction line completely before energizing.
Submersible Start: Purge Then Power
Open a hose bib at the tank tee. Crack an upstairs faucet to vent. Once water runs steady at the tee after energizing, gradually close fixtures to build pressure to cut-out. Watch the gauge—no rapid swings.
Jet Pump Prime: Fill Casing and Suction Line
For jet pump systems, remove the priming plug, fill the casing and suction line fully, then cycle on-off as needed to clear air. Repeat fills until the pump holds prime and reaches cut-out without losing pressure.
Avoiding Air Hammer and Cavitation
Air in the system can cause impeller damage. Purge air in stages—start with the nearest fixture, move outward, finish with outdoor spigots.
Key takeaway: Whether submersible or jet, your “prime” is about eliminating air and establishing a steady water column before burdening the pump.
#5. Fill and Vent Method – Controlled Purge Through Tank Tee, Pressure Gauge, and High Fixtures
The first 10 minutes after energizing is where most start-ups go wrong. Control the purge through a hose bib at the tank tee, watch the pressure gauge, and use a high fixture (top floor bathroom) to vent trapped air.
With the Ayala system, I cracked the tank tee bib, opened the upstairs sink hot and cold, and then energized power. The Myers 1 HP submersible established flow in seconds. We let it run free to flush minor sediment until clear, then closed the upstairs faucet to build pressure and cycle the switch.
Stage 1: Open Purge and Vent
Let the pump push air out the closest drain port while a top-floor faucet vents. Watch for clear, bubble-free flow. Expect spitting as the line clears.
Stage 2: Build Pressure, Observe Cut-In/Cut-Out
Close the high faucet slowly. Let the system climb to cut-out (e.g., 60 PSI). Confirm the pressure switch disengages cleanly. Note the time to fill—this is helpful later.
Stage 3: System Check for Leaks and Hammer
Inspect every joint at the tank tee. Listen for water hammer when fixtures are closed. If present, add or relocate the secondary check valve or install water hammer arrestors.
Key takeaway: A controlled vent-and-fill protects your new Myers Pump from needless stress and proves the switch and tank are behaving.
#6. Electrical Start-Up Discipline – 2-Wire vs 3-Wire, Control Box, and Pentek XE Motor Protection
Electrical discipline turns a good pump into a long-lasting workhorse. Myers offers 2-wire and 3-wire well pump options. The 2-wire configuration simplifies installation—no external control box—while 3-wire uses a dedicated box with start components. Either way, the Pentek XE motor brings thermal overload protection and lightning protection baked in.
The Ayalas opted for 2-wire simplicity. We verified proper rotation (audible smooth start, no chatter), measured amps under load to match the spec plate, and used a surge protector rated for well pumps at the panel.
2-Wire Configuration – Fewer Components, Fewer Failures
No external control box means fewer weak points. For many residential installs, 2-wire saves $200–400 upfront and reduces troubleshooting later—especially valuable in emergency swaps.
3-Wire with Control Box – Serviceable Start Components
A 3-wire setup allows easy replacement of capacitors or relays at the box. Contractors often prefer this for deep or high-head systems where diagnostics matter.
Pentek XE Motor Advantages
High-thrust design, cooler operation, and built-in protections keep windings safe. Check running amps at BEP; under- or over-amping indicates sizing or plumbing issues.
Key takeaway: Wire it right, protect it from surges, and your Myers Predator Plus motor will run smooth and cool for years.
#7. Material Matters – 300 Series Stainless, Teflon-Impregnated Staging, and Intake Screen Cleanliness
Start-up is the right time to talk materials because water chemistry shows its hand immediately. Myers’ 300 series stainless steel construction resists acidic and mineral-rich water. Teflon-impregnated staging with self-lubricating impellers shrugs off sand that would chew up lesser pumps. An intake screen designed for balanced flow resists clogging.
The Ayalas’ well throws occasional sand during late August. That’s where those engineered composite impellers pay dividends—no binding on grit, no early wear scars. A quick purge brought the water clear.
Stainless Steel vs Corrosion
Acidic pH and iron will corrode cast iron components. Stainless shells, shafts, and suction screens hold up year after year, maintaining hydraulic efficiency and structural strength.
Self-Lubricating Stages
When startup flow carries fine grit, Teflon-impregnated stages reduce friction and protect against impeller-to-diffuser abrasion. Expect longer quiet operation and preserved GPM output.
Intake Screen and Cable Guard
Keep the intake path clear of scale and zip-tie the cable along the drop pipe to stop vibration-induced wear. A clean intake equals clean hydraulics.
Key takeaway: Myers’ materials aren’t marketing fluff—they’re insurance for tough water and fluctuating levels.
#8. Precision Pressure Settings – Dial-In 40/60 or 30/50, Watch Cycling, Protect the 3-Year Warranty
Proper pressure control is a performance and longevity lever. Myers backs its pumps with an industry-leading 3-year warranty, and good pressure management keeps you within the normal operating envelope. Set your pressure switch thoughtfully, match your pressure tank pre-charge, and check for short cycling.
The Ayalas wanted a firm shower on the second floor. We kept 40/60 and set pre-charge to 38 PSI. With the 10 GPM pump, the refill time from 40 to 60 PSI on their 44-gallon tank was smooth, with no rapid toggling.
Choose a Range That Fits Your Plumbing
Older copper systems might prefer 30/50 to reduce stress. Newer PEX with good fittings can comfortably run 40/60 for better fixtures and irrigation risers.
Short Cycling Kills Motors
If the pump cycles rapidly, increase drawdown volume (larger tank), widen the switch differential, or correct undersized piping. Short cycles mean heat, and heat shortens motor life.
Warranty Mindset
The 3-year warranty is generous compared to 12–18 months from others. Document initial switch settings and tank pre-charge—good records help if you ever need support.
Key takeaway: Smart pressure tuning gives you better showers, healthier pumps, and clean warranty coverage.
#9. Competitor Reality Check – Why Myers Predator Plus Beats Budget Builds in Real Wells
Let’s put the materials and motor together in an honest comparison. Against budget brands like Everbilt and Flotec, Myers’ 300 series stainless steel hardware and Teflon-impregnated staging deliver dramatically longer service under mineral and grit loads. Efficiency near BEP exceeds 80%, meaning fewer kilowatt-hours per gallon delivered. The Pentek XE motor runs cooler with thermal overload protection that won’t trip at every hiccup. In the real world, budget thermoplastic housings fatigue under pressure cycling, and standard bearings wear fast with sand. Installation may be cheaper day one, but replacement cycles every 3–5 years erase any savings.
Service-wise, Myers’ field serviceable threaded assembly allows on-site repair. Budget brands often become throwaways at the first sign of hydraulic wear. The 3-year warranty from Myers doubles or triples budget coverage, and with PSAM’s same-day shipping, downtime shrinks.
If your livelihood and family depend on that water line—and for rural homes it absolutely does—the longer horizon makes the Predator Plus Series worth every single penny.
#10. Final Commissioning – Factory Tested, Field Serviceable, and What to Log for Long Life
The last step is a thorough commissioning. Myers pumps are factory tested, but every well is unique—commissioning captures baseline numbers you’ll rely on later.
For the Ayalas, we recorded static water level, cut-in/cut-out PSI, run amperage at steady flow, fill time on their tank, and post-flush water clarity. We also labeled the panel breaker and placed a start-up tag on the tank tee with the date and my PSAM contact.
Baseline Data to Record
- Static and dynamic water level (if known) Voltage and amperage draw at start and at BEP flow Cut-in/cut-out pressures and tank pre-charge Flow rate at a hose bib (5-gallon bucket test)
Final Leak and Wire Check
Hand-feel each connection at the tank tee for moisture. Inspect splices, grounds, and bonding. Confirm torque arrestor position and rope tension if recently installed.
Educate the Household
Walk through the shutoff, breaker, and how to read the gauge. A quick “what to do first” list on the tank saves panic calls.
Key takeaway: A 10-minute commissioning routine turns a good install into a documented, defensible, worry-free system.
Side-by-Side: Myers vs Goulds and Franklin Electric (Real Differences That Matter)
From a service bench perspective, material and maintenance access decide how a pump ages. Myers’ heavy use of 300 series stainless steel for the shell, discharge bowl, shaft, coupling, wear ring, and suction screen outlasts mixed-metal assemblies. Goulds uses more cast iron in certain product lines, which can corrode in acidic or high-iron wells; corrosion reduces hydraulic efficiency and can seize fasteners during service. On the motor side, Myers pairs with the Pentek XE high-thrust motor, delivering cooler operation and strong start torque, while many standard motors in the field lack equivalent thermal and surge protection.
In application, Myers’ field serviceable threaded assembly lets qualified contractors rebuild stages and address wear without scrapping the complete unit. Franklin Electric submersibles often depend on proprietary control boxes and dealer networks for diagnostics and parts, adding cost and delays in rural emergencies. Myers maintains 80%+ hydraulic efficiency near BEP, translating to measurable kWh savings each month. Over 8–15 years (often longer with good care), fewer repairs, higher efficiency, and better materials compound into thousands saved.
Between corrosion resistance, serviceability, and energy performance—supported by PSAM’s fast shipping and technical guidance—the Predator Plus Series is worth every single penny.
Comparison in Context: Myers vs Grundfos on Wiring and Start-Up Simplicity
Start-up complexity and total installed cost matter to homeowners and contractors under pressure. Myers’ broad availability in 2-wire configuration eliminates the cost and failure points of a separate control box, while still delivering robust start torque through the Pentek XE motor. Grundfos often steers buyers toward 3-wire configurations and integrated, brand-specific control solutions that raise upfront costs by $200–$400 and add variables at commissioning. Hydraulic efficiency is strong for both brands, but the Myers Predator Plus consistently holds above 80% at BEP and stays there thanks to Teflon-impregnated staging that resists performance drift from grit wear.
In practice, I’ve seen Myers simplify emergency replacements: fewer connections, fewer settings, faster water. Add Made in USA, UL listed, and CSA certified confidence plus a 3-year warranty that tops many competitors, and your total cost of ownership comes down—especially when PSAM stocks what you need and ships same day.
For rural homes where downtime costs real money and comfort, the easier installation and longer-view protections make Myers worth every single penny.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) How do I determine the correct horsepower for my well depth and household water demand?
Start with Total Dynamic Head (TDH) and flow demand. TDH equals the vertical lift from dynamic water level, plus pressure head (PSI x 2.31), https://www.plumbingsupplyandmore.com/4-deep-well-package-bronze-hj75d-series-lead-free.html plus friction losses from pipe length and fittings. A typical 3–4 bedroom home needs 7–12 GPM. For example, at 60 PSI (≈138 feet of head) and a 120-foot dynamic level, with 60–100 feet of horizontal run and fittings, your TDH may land around 300 feet. Match that to the Myers pump curve: a 1 HP Predator Plus at 10 GPM handles ≈300–320 feet TDH comfortably. If you irrigate or fill large troughs, consider 1.5 HP or higher staging. Always check the curve, amperage draw, and wire size together. My recommendation: call PSAM with your depth, static/dynamic levels, and desired PSI. We’ll pick the exact stages and GPM rating to land on the pump’s BEP, keeping energy use low and motor temperatures down.
2) What GPM flow rate does a typical household need and how do multi-stage impellers affect pressure?
Most single-family homes run well on 7–12 GPM. Larger homes, irrigation zones, or livestock hydration can push that to 12–20 GPM during peak use. Multi-stage submersibles like the Myers Predator Plus stack impellers to build pressure (head) without sacrificing efficiency. Each stage adds head; together they move water up from depth and still deliver 40/60 PSI at the house. The relationship: more stages = more head at a given GPM, so you can maintain pressure at deeper wells. For instance, a 10 GPM 1 HP Myers model with the right staging will hit around 300–400 feet of head at useful flows, letting a 60 PSI system perform like city water. Pro tip: choose the model whose curve crosses your desired GPM at your calculated TDH for the quietest, coolest operation.
3) How does the Myers Predator Plus Series achieve 80% hydraulic efficiency compared to competitors?
Efficiency is built into hydraulics and materials. Myers uses precision-matched diffusers and engineered composite impellers with Teflon-impregnated staging that stay true under grit exposure. Less wear means the pump stays on its curve longer. The Pentek XE motor then converts electrical power to shaft power with less heat loss, and the 300 series stainless steel pathways minimize turbulence and corrosion roughness. Combined, you get 80%+ hydraulic efficiency near BEP. Competing designs with cast-iron or thermoplastic internals can roughen over time, shifting the operating point and raising kWh per gallon. Real-world outcome: lower electric bills and cooler motor temps—exactly what you want in a 24/7 residential duty environment.
4) Why is 300 series stainless steel superior to cast iron for submersible well pumps?
Submersibles live in an oxygen-poor, mineral-heavy environment. 300 series stainless steel resists corrosive attack from acidic pH and iron-rich water. Cast iron components, common on some brands, can pit and scale, which increases friction losses and can bind fasteners during service. Stainless maintains smooth hydraulic surfaces and mechanical integrity, preserving the pump’s flow and pressure over time. For wells with iron staining, sulfur, or aggressive water chemistry, stainless components on the shell, shaft, discharge, and suction screen are non-negotiable. That’s why Myers spec’d stainless across critical parts. You’ll see the payoff at year 8, 12, and 15 when flows and amps still look like day one.
5) How do Teflon-impregnated self-lubricating impellers resist sand and grit damage?
Grit is like sandpaper in motion. Teflon-impregnated impellers and diffusers create a low-friction interface that sheds fine particulates rather than grinding them between surfaces. The self-lubricating property reduces micro-weld and galling risks. In practice, this means less stage-to-stage scoring, fewer friction-induced heat spots, and a pump that stays quiet and efficient. During start-up flushes—like we performed for the Ayalas—any brief sand load is far less likely to damage the stages. If your well throws grit seasonally, this feature alone can double the lifespan over standard composites.
6) What makes the Pentek XE high-thrust motor more efficient than standard well pump motors?
The Pentek XE motor is designed for vertical thrust loads and continuous duty. Higher slot fill, optimized windings, and premium bearings reduce internal losses. Built-in thermal overload protection and lightning protection guard the motor during voltage spikes and heat events. At a given flow/head point, it draws fewer amps than many standard motors, shaving monthly energy costs. Measure your amps at cut-in and steady flow; you’ll see the difference. In deep wells with long duty cycles, cooler operation equals much longer insulation life—and that’s what keeps you out of the well for a decade or more.
7) Can I install a Myers submersible pump myself or do I need a licensed contractor?
Capable DIYers install submersibles successfully all the time with PSAM guidance, but know your limits. You’ll handle electrical work at 230V, hoisting drop pipe, sealing a pitless adapter, and ensuring watertight wire splices. If your well is deeper than 150 feet, or you’re changing from 3-wire to 2-wire, I strongly recommend a licensed contractor. For emergency replacements at modest depths, our PSAM kits, quick connect system options, and phone support make DIY realistic. Either way, follow the Myers install manual to protect the 3-year warranty. If in doubt, hire the lift, then finish the tank tee, switch, and purge steps yourself.
8) What’s the difference between 2-wire and 3-wire well pump configurations?
- 2-wire well pump: Capacitor and start components are integrated in the motor. Fewer external parts, simpler wiring, faster replacements, typically lower cost. Great for most residential depth and flow needs. 3-wire well pump: External control box handles start/run capacitors and relay. Easier to service start components without pulling the pump. Preferred by some contractors for deep wells or diagnostic convenience. Performance can be similar; choose based on service philosophy and install complexity. Myers offers both, and PSAM stocks matching control box units for 3-wire systems.
9) How long should I expect a Myers Predator Plus pump to last with proper maintenance?
Realistically, 8–15 years is common. In well-managed systems—correctly sized to TDH, operated near BEP, with clean power and proper tank sizing—I’ve seen 20+ years. The keys are stable voltage, no short cycling, good surge protection, and periodic checks of pressure switch, check valve, and tank pre-charge. Myers’ materials (stainless and Teflon-staged internals) resist the usual wear paths, keeping hydraulics healthy. The Ayalas, with annual tank checks and a surge protector, should comfortably see well over a decade before reconsidering a pull.
10) What maintenance tasks extend well pump lifespan and how often should they be performed?
- Quarterly: Watch your pressure gauge behavior—creeping cut-in/cut-out can signal tank or switch issues. Semiannual: Verify tank pre-charge, inspect switch contacts, and listen for changes in pump sound at start/stop. Annual: Check for leaks at the tank tee, test a 5-gallon bucket flow at a hose bib, and confirm breaker connections are tight. After storms: Inspect surge protection and test GFCI/AFCI devices as applicable. These steps keep the system from short cycling and catch electrical issues early. Simple, fast, and effective.
11) How does Myers’ 3-year warranty compare to competitors and what does it cover?
Myers’ 3-year warranty is among the best—many competitors offer 12 to 18 months. Coverage includes manufacturing defects and performance failures under normal use. Keep install records (pressure settings, pre-charge, electrical readings at start-up) and proof of proper sizing. Warranty doesn’t cover dry-run damage or installation errors, which is standard across the industry. With PSAM’s technical support and documentation guidance, claims are straightforward when needed. The big win is cost-of-ownership—three years of coverage substantially reduces the financial risk compared to 1-year options.
12) What’s the total cost of ownership over 10 years: Myers vs budget pump brands?
Add hardware, energy, and replacement cycles. A budget pump at $450–$600 might last 3–5 years in a challenging well. Two replacements plus labor rapidly tops $1,500–$2,000, excluding downtime. Energy costs are higher if hydraulics drift off-curve. A Myers Predator Plus at a higher initial price runs efficiently (80%+ near BEP), needs fewer interventions, and carries a 3-year warranty. Over 10 years, expect one install, lower kWh per gallon, and minimal service—often $600–$1,200 saved, plus far less hassle. When PSAM myers pump your household depends on private water, dependable service is the value driver.
Conclusion: Start It Right, Keep It Running—Why Myers + PSAM Is the Safe Bet
Priming and starting a well system safely isn’t magic—it’s disciplined preparation. Confirm electricals, set the pressure tank and pressure switch correctly, verify your TDH against the pump curve, purge air methodically, and document your commissioning. The Ayalas did exactly that with their Myers Predator Plus Series 1 HP submersible and went from a dead line to clear, quiet pressure in under an hour. Weeks later, their system still holds cut-out rock solid, amps are right where they should be, and the kids have hot showers before school.
Here’s the bigger picture: Myers’ 300 series stainless steel, Teflon-impregnated staging, and Pentek XE motor aren’t check-box features. They’re what keep a pump delivering design flow at 8, 12, and 15 years—especially in wells that throw grit or have testy chemistry. Add the 3-year warranty, Made in USA build, and PSAM’s fast shipping plus field-tested support, and you’ve got a system that’s engineered and serviced for the long run.
Need help choosing the exact GPM rating, stages, or 2-wire vs 3-wire? Call PSAM. I’ll make sure your Myers Pump hits its best efficiency point on day one—and stays there.
