I have to replace my down pipe in my well - it has been down there since 1978 and it
seems like there is a hole (s) in the pipe.
While I'm at it, I thought this would be a good time to replace the 1/2 HP / 5 gpm pump.
My guess is - that most/many pumps are now made in China, or in Mexico with Chinese
parts/motors in them. I'd rather have a good 'ol American motor in my next pump.
Who knows the best pump to buy these days - that is Made in America?
My pump rests at about 360' - 365'. The hole is in solid rock
I'm open for suggestions.
Also, is there a "formula" that can tell me what size pump I should put down into that hole?
My present pump is 1/2 HP / 5 GPM and the well only produces about 250 gals every 24 hours.
I talked to 2 well guys, and they both told me something different!
I'd like exacts, if I can find them.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
