Cost is a big issue. I have a 2 or 3hp (prior owner is not sure) pump at around 3-350' deep with 20' 1.25" threaded PVC Drop.
Ran through the franklin electric diagnostics to find out why my start overload pops within 5-10 seconds of running.
Start Winding (red) pulling 12amps (3 or 6 amps is acceptable)
Main winding (black) 9 amps
Line (yellow) 20 amps
Start ohms @ 7.0 (bit high)
Main ohms @ 2.8
So by several experts recomendation the pump needs to come up.
I have pulled it up 3-4 feet to replace the top pvc threads that cracked but extracting the whole thing seems like it will be a challenge.
I am a very savvy DIY'er I was planning to build a 14' ish tripod over the well and pull it 10'>clamp>10' >clamp etc. The original pump was supposedly 1.5 hp so I was planning to locate that original size as a replacement and reuse the drop pipe.
So is 350' to much to DIY any advise or suggestions?
