3" well pumps

[RidgebackKing]

My existing well has a 4" casing and its been there for a number of years. I'm looking for a 3" pump to replace one but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Here are the specs I'm trying to find:

3"
3 wire 230V
1.5+ HP capable of 12+ gpm from 100ft at 60psi
Includes control panel
built in safety-rope hook would be great as well

It will pump into a 120gal non-bladder tank that has pressure switch set to 40/60psi. Can anyone point me to a brand/model that fits my needs? Thanks!!

See Grundfos SQ.

Oh, wait. You want a control panel? Gonna cost ya, but see Grundfos SQE. If a control panel is something you can live without, SQ.

Only 2 wires plus safety ground, but you can live with that.

TrimLine 4" Submersible http://www.sta-rite.com/ResidentialProduct_sr_ws_4s_s5p4hs05121.aspx and http://www.sta-rite.com/ResidentialProduct_sr_ws_4s_s5p4jp05121.aspx is 3.75 inch OD, so it would probably fit your casing.

No pro here recommends safety rope. I am not a pro, but I would not either.

Slim line pumps still have 4" motors.

If you put "safety rope" in that hole and it drops, you will have a serious problem. You're better off using better pipe and leaving the rope at the supply house.

4" pumps measure 3.75" and will fit in 4" casing as long as the casing is still good.
