In Reply to: OT Well waterpump recommendations posted by Tim Barnes on February 02, 2012 at 12:30:55:

are you sure its the pump and not the control box?that sure dont seem like much service life,and I buy the cheapest ones i can find .I dont pay any attentin to brand if i need one so I really cant suggest one brand over another.What is your pump doing?I would think if it were sand killing them that fast you would see it in the water,look in the bottom of the toilet bowl tanks and see if theres a lot of sand buildup.If yours has a external control box,look at the capactitors.In between the wires on the top of them will likely be a fiber disc.If its cracked,burnt or blown out that cap is likely bad. We had several fail, a couple of years ago for some reason,then have not had any trouble since.Another thing,make sure you have voltage going to the well wires.Pressure switch can close and not make contact.they spark a little each time they close,sometimes they can get burnt enough they wont make contact(ants make a excellent insulator by the way and they love pressure switches for some strange reason).Then you have to clean them or replace switch. Not saying you dont need a pump,but if you dont fix whats killing it you WILL be pulling it again shortly,regardless of how many you put in.I think all of our pumps are now franklin brand just because they are cheapest around here.
