Have a F&W submersible pump seems to have stopped, replaced QB control box

To shut off with a 40/60 pressure switch, 60 PSI is the same as 138'. That pump dead heads at 208'. So if your water pulls down lower than 70', that pump will not build to 60 PSI and the pump will melt down. The safe water level for that pump using a 40/60 switch is less than 50'. If the water doesn't pull down to more than 50', you cannot beat the price of that pump.

I don't use a pressure tank and just pump out of well direct to hose hooked to spigot.

Then is should work fine.

Found this pump also and my water is not down that deep. I have a 80ft pvc pipe down in a 175ft well but it hits watter way before 80ft.
Maybe around 25ft to 30ft it hits water. Its never run dry pumping with my last pump that is dead right now.
Maybe this pump would work ok and at a good price.

Getting to this garden well pump project and I have a 4 wire 220 with control box but going to go over to this 3wire 2wire plus ground.
I guess I will just use three wires of the 4 wires and do away with the control box and wire direct to wires going to breaker switch which
I use to turn on the pump in garage.

You may want to put a 2-pole switch in a box where the control box was. It will probably be handier than going to the breaker panel.

My breaker panel is only about 25ft from the well by the garage side door.
