I’ve inherited a 200’ well with a Franklin 2hp submersible pump, pressure tank setup. Well/Pump is ~13yrs old, used very little, and has been out of service for ~5 yrs. I recently rewired to a 20A 240V service and plumbed it with 1.25” pipe. I Replace 2 bronze valves that were freeze cracked. Otherwise setup remains the same.
Is it OK to power up to check if the pump runs? OR do I risk doing damage to the pump without taking some pre-start actions before powering up? What procedure should I follow?
