Surging house water pumps

[freewill2008]

If the problem started when the new pumps were installed, the pumps might draw
more current than the original wiring was set up for. In our rig the bus's
circuit breaker caused our new high-output pump to act the same way until I
realized why. A 30 amp breaker and new #10 wire to the pump solved the problem.
The original wiring was used as the control circuit to trigger a relay in the
new #10 wire.
