Can I rebuild a deep well submersible pump?
I replaced my Jacuzzi well pump (10 gpm,230vac, 3 wire). It was 35 years old and I thought I should replace it when the weather was good rather than wait for it to fail sometime which of course would be in winter with the wind blowing. The pump still works so - I'm wondering if there is any way to re-build the pump side. The built in check valve is doesn't work any more either. I removed the motor which seems fine - the shaft spins easily so that indicates the bearings in the motor are good. So I'd like to change bearings, the check valves etc in the 'wet end' and keep this pump as a spare. I've looked and looked and can't see a way to open the pump up and get at the impellors/check valve etc. Has anyone done this or is it factory sealed and not serviceable. It does still work and I could put on an external check valve. (I know - this sounds silly but I don't like throwing out something that is still working)
Thanks for your help.
