You can buy a toss out ammeter at harbor fright for 13$. Some of the home demon pumps have franklin motors, but the pump heads are crap. Buy a Grunfos or any number of USA pump heads with a Franklin motor on it. You can find them for not much more than the home depression pumps. I have bought those "rebuilt" pumps on e bay just to get the motors. I don't think Franklin has the werewithal to build cheap motors next to their regular low HP motors.
Right about the big well, lots of storage, but its still a very low capacity well. Pump into a 2500 gallon tank, then use your pressure tanks after it with another pump in the tank. And you don't want a 20 gpm pump in that well. Do the test suggested above - run the pump full on out a big line and see how long before you get air. Wondering why you have a 10" hole. Unusual.
