Hello:
I am in the market for 2 submersible pumps (one for a 400 feet well, one for a 500 feet well, both have very weak flows 3 GPM for the 500 feet one).
What I pulled out is a Myers, Predator ST with a Franklin Electric engine (2 wire). Both pumps ran dry and the "propeller" section of the pump "melted" and froze up. The engine I think still works, so kuddos for Franklin.
I was somewhat surprised that the "propeller" (sorry I am sure there is a proper name for the sandwich of discs that move the water) was made out of plastic but I realize that the only alternative would be stainless steel which would make it beyond expensive.
Does anybody have a brand preference or recommendation for submersible pumps?
Thank you,
