I have a 75' well installed in 1995 original to the house, afaik, I've owned since 2016. I installed a CSV in 2017 to stop short cycling (thx Valveman, that thing is awesome). Pump recently started running all the time - On ~35 seconds, reach 60psi, off for ~40 seconds. Rinse & Repeat perpetually. I could hear water drain back as pressure dropped to cut-in pressure of ~40psi and pump back on. Confirmed this same activity with house lines completely shut off. Figured it would wear motor out so I only turn pump breaker on to shower and refill the toilet tanks to limp along.
No visible or known leaks, but we have 3' of snow on the ground.
Seems like a bad check valve in the pump, or just failing pump?
I have a Franklin 1-1/2hp Controller - model 2823008110
No insight on what the pump may be, but I assume it's a 1/2 or 3/4 hp (3br, 2ba house). Given the age I will replace the pump.
I Plan to use a Grundfos Model 10S05-9 Series 10S-SP with a Franklin 1/2HP motor 2145059004 unless there's an alternative suggestion.
Do I need any other components? Pitless Adapter O-ring?
Is the check valve integrated into the new pump or do I need a separate part?
Seems a bit tricky to slip the pitless adapter back into it's socket 6' down my 6" well pipe? Any insights?
Thanks to the knowledge pro's here, you share great info.
