Hello All-
My well currently uses a first class Flotec 1 hp pump with a plastic pump housing for my irrigation system. Sitting in my basement I have a Water Ace 1 hp that has a metal pump housing.
I'm thinking of switching to the Water Ace because it has the metal pump housing instead of the plastic one found on the Flotec.
The Water Ace pump needs to be rebuilt, so I'm asking if there is any advantage/difference between the metal and plastic housings? Is metal better than plastic, or should I use what I have and keep the other as a back up?
I'm thinking that I can paint the metal pump white to match the house, whereas the plastic pump won't hole paint as well, if at all.
I value you input over the metal vs plastic issue.
Thanks,
Ray
