"my parent's pump and motor were blown to hell."

I'd like to see pics of that! I've seen motors with holes blown in them and with the seams split, but never a wet end.

With a 135ft set. He could have multiple check valves. Some installers will use a check valve every 100 ft.

The 5 amp draw is running amps. The locked rotor amps will be much higher, hence the need for 15 amp breaker.

I don't know what you mean by "wire tie the two wires". I like to use Marr connectors without any tape.

Those are nice! I'm going to look for those here.

@LL I'm trying to figure out what is so difficult about splicing wire with shrink kits or cutting the tape that holds the wire to the drop pipe.

@Frank, while I appreciate your wanting to get as much use as possible out of your old pump, Murphy's Law states that it will quit at the most inopportune time, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day.....

You got that right, mine quit just before everyone showed up for my kids birthday party....
