When I pulled my defunct pump up out of the well, everything looked pristine, just like out of the box, pump, pipes wires ... everything, except where the 1 1/4 fitting screwed into the pump. That whole area was covered in a ball of sediment. We had to chip it off to get to the fitting to unscrew it from the pump. It was like a ball of red mud encasing it. Not sure what would have caused sediment to build up around that part. The only thing I could Think of was, as the water was being pulled past that point to get to the intake, maybe sediment was able to accumulate there. Just odd there was nothing anywhere else, and no sediment in house filters... just struck me as odd. Sediment was pretty much built up equally all around it.
