We lost water pressure this morning and we called for service. It seemed the pump in the well outside was stuck and it was recommended for a replacement. The old pump's model was 8SP4DO2P-34 and it was replaced with 2ST72-12-P4 a Myers 3/4 12 GPM. It took little over 2 hours and he said the flat rate was $1800.
My friend swear up and down that his pump only cost $600 and they just pull out the line and drop it back in. I tried to explain to him my well was at 280 ft depth and it needs to be rig out and it is tougher than what it said but my question to you experts is that do you think that was a fair price? Consider the pump itself is $500 online and 70 feet of PVC is? plus a new gauge and a new Pumptrol. I called and requested a more detail breakdown of the charges and I should get one tomorrow, but then I asked them about why they replaced it with 12gpm instead of the old 8gpm, I was told that they don't make 8gpm anymore, while I was looking at the list of 8gpm Myers on my laptop. Can someone tell me if they are being somewhat dishonest or I am just overthinking this situation? Thanks and apology in advance if I offend you in an ignorant way.
