Hello...
I've got a problem with my well pump. I had a Grundfos 3" SQE variable speed constant pressure pump with the CU 301 controller installed in my new home a little under three years ago.
I also have a Geothermal ground source heat pump running on an open loop system that uses my water well.
I have a strong well, 23 GPM flow. My heat pump requires 10-11 GPM to function correctly and i need about 3-4 GPM for my household water needs.
A few days ago my Grundfos well pump burnt out for whatever reason??? It does run alot because its used to heat and cool my home everytime the heat pump is running. I was told this should last at least 15 years, but it died.
Now I've been told not to go with Grundfos and the CU 301 because they die prematurely and they have had lots of problems with them.
I've been told to go with a standard 4" pump and get a Franklin Electric MonoDrive controller and use my existing 2 Gallon pressure tank.
I'm told Franklin Electric is a much better and reliable system.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I'm not sure what to do?
Do I replace the pump with another 3" Grundfos and run the risk of it burning out in another 2 1/2 years or do I get a 4" pump and a MonoDrive controller and hope for the best???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
