My current pump (myers preditor 8 gpm approximately 16 years old) is still functioning quite well. It drives my geothermal HP at 4gpm and supply's the house with the rest. It has always been sufficient for our needs. For the first 10 years of its life, it was attached to a standard 10 - 20 gal pressure tank. (Not positive of the size) but it cycled a lot. I smartened up a little and installed an 86 gal tank. So now when the hp runs it seems to have a 3 min on 3 min off cycle. And if hp isnt running it looks like a 2 minute fill cycle. All this to give the history of the abuse this poor pump has gone through. I know the current advice is "if it's not broke dont fix it" however, just checking availability of local pumps. It doesnt seem that the name brands are available unless ordered. What is the opinion on ordering a pump, putting it on a shelf and just waiting for the current one to give out. And if I did that, what would the suggestion be for the most reliable brand to go with for replacement. I would personally stick with the predator.. but if there is better I would like to know.
