About 3 weeks ago we had a hot tub wired in. A day or two after the hot tub was wired in, we had no water. We called the electrician and he found that he had made a mistake and it had burnt a contact in our control box for our well. He called a pump and well expert in. Instead of replacing the contact, they replaced the entire control box.
About a week after the control box was replaced we lost water again. My husband went out to the control box and found a wire that was not installed correctly and had popped out. He stated it was a major ground wire. He repaired the wire and we had water again.
A week later, we lost water again. My husband had to press the two reset buttons on the control box and again we had water. This happened again two days ago.
My husband called the electrician that had wired the hot tub, the electrician called the well and pump establishment that had put the new control box in. Today the establishment went out to look at it. He was pretty confident before looking at anything it was our pump. After going out to our place, the well and pump establishment stated we needed a new pump because the electrician wired the hot tub wrong and caused the bearing in the pump to go out. Can this happen? Can he know a bearing is going out without pulling up the pump?
We had not had any issues with our pump before this. The pump was replaced approximately 15 years ago. Any help or tips would be much appreciated.
