Pump imploded. Didn't want to haul out galvanized so paid someone to fix it.
-Pumps been in since before I moved in 8 years ago. The pump was a "bruiser" 20SB1012 which I guess is an old goulds pump, with a franklin motor 2145089003. Anyone able to tell age from that by chance? I couldn't find any indication of manufacture date anywhere on anything.
A diffuser shattered and then obviously took out the impellers/diffusers above it. I assume this is just an age thing and not from any particular cause. There doesn't appear to be any excess wear. All the service people moaned about the CSV, and I would agree if the failure was excess wear at the bottom of the impeller, but it clearly wasn't. If anything it was upthrust wear.
-The motor was perfectly fine, should I/can I save it? I imagine it might not store well now that it's been in use for so long. I'm not sure if they are fully sealed or what. There's a hole on the bottom the spits out some water any time I lift the drive coupler.
-Finally, I had a rusted through well casing above ground I had them fix while here. They cut it off below ground level and plopped a slip on riser on it... without welding it. It wobbles a ton, clearly wont seal. I'm not really happy with this fix but I had them do the work because I didn't want to bust up the concrete myself. (the other company out of 8 that was actually prepared to do that work wasgoing to do the same thing by smashing some pvc onto it too so...)
I'm looking for a way I might be able to fix this more appropriately myself. In the past someone mentioned a dresser coupling which seems like it will work ok to well. Any other recommendations?
