We have a 300 foot deep well, about 2.5 gallons per minute. The pump is around 20 years old, minimum and I understand can't pump more than 5 gpm (some sort of limit because they guy burned out an earlier pump leaving the sprinklers on). If we water with a sprinkler for 20 minutes or so the pump keeps running for 20-30 minutes after the sprinkler is shut off.
Is this a function of the well refresh or is the pump getting old? What's the life expectancy of a submersible pump? Would it be prudent to replace it now, rather than wait for it to quite when the temperature is 25 below? ( We livein Montana)
