I had a well which would not develop enough volume. It's 110 ft deep and had a 3/4 hp motor.
The well company came out, chemically cleaned the roots out of the well, added a booster pump and 1500 gallon res. THe well pump was 6 months old. Now, it is non-functional.
They put some sort of choke or DOle valve into the line so it wouldn't cavitate. 4-5 gpm max. I'm wondering if the restriction was so much that it killed the well pump? It just seems conicidental that a new pump fails 2nd use after all this work was done.
