OK good to know. But the wires to the motor are not labeled. So I still don't know how you get the rotation correct without trial and error?The breaker box feed should be in proper sequence.

Yeah they were better before TRW bought them out. They sort of went downhill after that. They took out all the good brass and started using plastic.
I wouldn't run that pump unless it is full of water. The seal in an above ground type pump and the wear rings in a submersible would be damaged in a short amount of time. You can switch T1/T2 or you can switch T2/T3, but switching T1/T3 will not change rotation.
I would be very unhappy if a pump installer cut my poly pipe into small sections. If you have the tools to hold the pipe while you cut it, there is no reason why you can't use those tools to get another bite every 20 and not have to cut the pipe.
This is a Do It Yourself forum. So we try to help people who are doing it themselves, as well as suggest when that is not possible and a professional is needed. I have personally pulled pumps by hand on poly pipe that is 200'+, especially when the static water level is high. So it can be done.
Go ahead and pull them deep polly pumps by hand and see what happens to your back doing that every day lol. I would rather have the customer tell me it's on polly and I bring the right rig out to pull the polly in one piece.
You should lift with your pump hoist or not at all.You should lift with your legs not your back.
I learned that the hard way.

As for the pipe, I would choose the 160 psi polyethelyne and set it perhaps at 220' . You can do this by hand and without special equipment. If you are just supplying your residence, then 1 Hp or less is absolutely enough. You did not say standing water level in the well and what is the GPM of replenishment. For me and 3 dogs, 1/2 HP is enough. I have a rental property with two houses, and a well about the depth of yours - it has never in 20 years with the Myers 1/2 hp pump failed to provide enough water - and there is just a 60 gallon tank for the well. But I keep the pressure set at 45-80, so the pump is running when there is constant use, sort of like a CSV valve. I agree on the Chinese, it is a difficult decision, and of course I prefer to support the US Mfg. who usually have best results in electronic components. As for your winch, it has proven easy for me to pull pumps on poly pipe from 350' by hand without distress. Your purchase from has best warranty, but perhaps you should look at the actual supplier. Sometimes it is best buy and just as safe.
If you are airline mechanic, then you will be very detail person about the purchase. Good thing. I would go to 3 phase on my land but distance and wiring is difficult. If your well is close to your electric panel, then it is easy choice. Take a look at the Florida pump company site - they have a good selection and have been in business for many years.
Just a quick note to inform you that I did no purchase a Franklin Motor because they are made in Mexico and went to buy the complete GrundfosAs for the pipe, I would choose the 160 psi polyethelyne and set it perhaps at 220' .

I agree with you,but now the Franklin motors are made in Mexico and with that in mind I belive that the quality is not the same as whenFranklin makes the best motors in the business. F&W has made in America motors 3hp or less but I haven't got to try them out yet.
This is awkward, but...
