Greetings
This is my first post.
I just pulled the Jacuzzi 7SAA-26 submersible pump after it being in the well for over 34 years (the pump failed). I have never pulled a well pump before and I am concerned about the amount of build up on the galvanized pipe below the water line. The build up is Reddish brown and is as much as 1/2" thick in the pipe below the water line. Is this normal to have this much build up on the pipe? The water from the well is clear and medium-hard. There is no build up or staining on the sinks or tolets in the home.
Second part to my question is: I am going to install a Grundfos 15SQE15 SmartFlo System. I am going to install the pump with 1" 160 PSI NSF Poly. The old pump had a check valve half way up the well pipe at about 135 foot mark. Should I install a check value again at that depth?
Thanks you for your comments
