The water it is in lubricates a submersible pump.

If it isn't in water, it will be dry.
You can test it in a barrel if you don't run it more than a minute so the motor pigtails or motor doesn't get hot.

I know you are short on cash, but a new pump isn't but a few bucks more than a new motor by itself. And with planned obsolescence in full bloom, you may be pulling it back out sooner than you think.

well maybe i had not explained before that when i had bought the new "motor" I had thought that I had bought the works. I did not realize at the time I purchased it that it was only half. so any ways the "pump" part of it after being tested is no good. so, I have since acquired another set up, pump & moter, after tested does work, but now it seems to me.... that the piping is the wrong size... bigger then what the new system was made for.

Just curious, where did you buy this pump and motor and what brand are they?

You can use 1" or 1-1/4". It doesn't matter. You can buy a bushing to put in the top of the pump so the one inch will fit.

PE (polyethylene) pipe is easier to use and costs less. It comes in 100-500' rolls.
