Question:

function of regulator in water pump?

implementation of regulator in water level control system

Answer:

This might be explained with an example. There is a water tank being used by a community (or a dwelling) and it is supplied by a pump from a well. There is a switch in the tank that is wired to the pump motor. The switch is activated by a lever attached to a float in the tank. When the float is in the down position the pump runs, When the float is pushed up by the water the punp is turned off. The pump first operates and fills the tank and then shuts off when the tank is full. When the usage of water drops the water in the tank to a certain level, the pump turns on until it is full again. The float, the switch and the motor are the pump regulating devices. This type of regulation is called two-position, like a light switch. Other more involved types of regulation may adjust a valve in the pipeline from the pump . This changes the rate of flow while the pump continues to run. The first type of regulation can be called digital because the flow is yes or no. The second can be called analog because while it is on, the flow varies in amount. If I have not adequately answered your question, maybe someone else will.
I call the guy who installed it if he reputable he abound fix it if hes a jack. Then call a real plumber.
