We had our submersible pump, motor, drop pipe, line to the well house, and tank all replaced. you can see the thread I started about it here-
https://terrylove.com/forums/showth...acement-pump-tank-etc-nuts&highlight=stoneaxe
50' well, 35' water level, Grundfos 10 gpm pump and 1/2 hp Franklin motor, 1" schd 120 pvc drop pipe, 1"poly from the well to the tank.
One check valve, one anti -torque rubber device.
The system had a vibration in it, we could hear and feel it in the plumbing-touching a faucet, or copper line.
The well guy came out and pulled the pump and motor. We took apart the pump and motor and I did note the pump shaft did not have a smooth rotation- it went from free and easy to quite sticky- also the motor was pulling a little more than the normal max amperage.
He replaced them with Grundfos 1/2hp motor and pump the second time.
The vibration is much less, but still present.
Is this something to be concerned about?
