Thanks again for the replies and information guys.
This morning I woke up and decided to tackle the job myself.
Picked up a Grundfos 16S10-10 along with a 1" x 60" galv pipe nipple, tee (2) 1"x6" nipples (to make a pull handle to get it off the pitless), and (2) heat shrink splice kits.
It actually took me longer to drive up to Southampton and back (65 mile round trip) then it did to pull the pump, swap it out and get it back in service. I'm totally stoked right now.
The pump was actually about 40' down and the only thing I had to worry about were some overhead utility wires really close but I directed the down pipe away from them and it hung in the spruce trees.
One of my businesses is swimming pool maintenance and service. I swap out pumps, and do repairs, etc. so this wasn't too far afield for me.
Thanks again brothers. I am totally stoked at how easy this turned out to be.
