Probably the ugliest ax in the state, but it takes a swing and splits well.

Hi Andrew, I had a borehole pump that was in the $1500 range (Sits at 110m below surface, but same priciple), it was installed in 1994, and I just replaced it last year. It was still running, but was delivering less and less water every year, the impeller was simply worn out from 27 years of operation, and that's why I replaced it. I highly recommend expensive pumps if you want them to last longer, but condsidering that your pump is a bit easier to replace than mine, I totally support you going with the cheaper option.

Couple tips for new players - pipe is sized by inner diameter; tubing is sized by outer diameter. If you buy 1” pipe barbs, you need 1” HDPE pipe. 1” tubing barbs fit 1” tubing. As you found, can’t mix and match. I think they did that just to confuse people 😀. Next, use a lead-free brass or copper union to connect the pipe from the pump to the pipe that runs to the building. Next time you need to replace the pump, you won’t need to wrestle with it. Anyway, good job fixing it - it works!

2 things: in my experience with pumps (concrete plant & asphalt plant), the big killer of pumps is foreign material and fouling. I've seen expensive pumps suffer the same death as a cheep one, over and over, but never a pump dying because of cheapness... My advice is to uphold housekeeping & maintenance schedules. I used to soak my pumps in hydrochloric acid, but CLR or an anti-scale agent would work for your application...IF anything was chosen. As an absolute, change that filter at least once a year, or whatever the manufacturer recommends. Second thing, those rotary jetter heads seem to be susceptible to being knocked right on the end. I never quite pin-pointed the exact cause of failure, but it was either a physical jarring or some grit got in the end of it, setting it up to fail. Food for thought, anyway... maybe weld on a small piece of tube for a jetter gun holder.

Whatever sludge doesn't settle-out will get picked up by the filter (shown in the video). I've never seen a pipe or hose thin-out from the inside by pumping slurry, not with pressures akin to single or double horse pumps. On an industrial level, with metal pipes, reactive chemistry and elevated temperatures, cavitaton & hydraulic shock, absolutely...but not from sand. If sand is involved the pump clogs up dies long before the pipes get a chance to erode.

@@Sjanzo you'll need something called a jet pump, basically a centrifugal with a venturi nozzle that robs a bit of the pumped up flow to amplify the suction. Depending on depth you'll need to put the jet nozzle at the 'far' end of the suction pipe. Roughly 7m aka ~20ft is max where you can have the nozzle bolted on the pump. With the jet nozzle at the far end you can get to about ~15...20m (so 50..60ft.) depending on exact pump hp, and pump/nozzle design. In most cases the pump will be noisy to some extend, because of cavitation. (air bubbles forming on the rotor and 'popping') This is from experience installing a handful of these.

Nice vid - a trick I learned from an old life-long dozer operator for you: When you wash your tracks like that spray them with a corrosion inhibitor - it stops oxidation and coats them so they don't load up as fast or bad. Get a five gallon can of concentrate for about 300 bucks and dilute it about 10:1 in a sprayer. A five gallon can will last you years. It will prevent track tensioner failures like you had on your 7 as well. Just be cautious - some corrosion inhibitors don't get along well with rubber and seals. The cost of the inhibitor,application time is completely offset by the time you spend cleaning your tracks and components last way longer - it's a win/win.Cheers

Pro tip. Check your cut in/ cut out pressure settings anytime you have the blue tank drained off. (Cause it's the only time you can check those). Your well pump died pretty young. It's awful shallow for such a large pump. My guess, it's hammering itself to death internally. Seems it may be good head pressure running up hill but, a 2/3 horse pump can do that push. If ya know a local well driller.you could trust, he can tell ya the size you'd need to be "just right" on power/gallons/head pressure. Your videos are great, keep it up man!!!!

I think you nailed it (why the difference in cost) at 03:30. It last 6 years. I guess it depends on your application, but for our house wells that are a few hundred feet down, I expect them to last orders of magnitude longer than that... and yeah... it's a big deal to pull out pump out of a few hundred feet of well.

My last pump was in well since 1969 quit working in 2019. My well is 300 feet deep and high in black sulpher and salt the water kills any metal that isn't stainless and eats rubber. I got cheap pump from Tractor Supply because my well guy wanted $1500 for new pump installed and the cheap pump was 400, I pulled 280 feet of pipe with pump on it not easy even with the rollers that sit on the casing for pulling pump the new pump was installed and dropped back down the well it last 4 months. I ended up just calling my well guy he came within an hour with his power puller had new pump back down the well in a half hour and new pump is covered for 25 years and my guy said if it goes before that he will cover my pump and pound me a new well for better water if I just buy the casing. New pump was $1500 installed with manufacturer's 25 year coverage plus a promise from my well guy which is more honest than the manufacturer since our families go back generations and we used him on all the new houses we built when we did contracting.

I take it your well is certainly NOT HUMAN CONSUMPTION, THAT WATER IS NASTY LOOKN. GREAT JOB, THO, YOU WERE ABLE TO OVER RIDE THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND REWIRE IT EXCELLENT JOB.👌✌️👍

One thing I did a few years ago on our well pump is install a pressure switch with a low pressure cut off. That way if the pump runs dry it cuts power, protecting the pump motor. A side benefit is if there is a massive leak and the pump cannot keep up it also cuts power hopefully preventing a flood. Watching you change the sediment filter reminds me it is time to do ours.
@AndrewBrowner

@tomschmidt381

@@AndrewBrowner Correct, switch has a lever on the side to manually power pump until pressure builds a little. Fist time it happened, filling greenhouse solar batch heater, I forgot about the low pressure feature and could not figure out why the tanks were not filling.

Seeing Andrew rewire the circuit breaker on the pump reminded me of living in China for 10 years. There were three of us living in a house, whenever we turned on the three bedroom heaters they would trip the breaker. We called in an electrician. He wired around the breaker, pointed at it and said “do not ever touch” ! We never touched!!
