    Well Pump Won't Stop Pumping After Dry Condition

    Thanks again for the input guys. A guy from the company who installed the well came out to the house this morning. He said the pump motor is fine, and assured us that it is sufficient for the job. He said the well is very low on water and suspects we have a water leak somewhere in the...

    Well Pump Won't Stop Pumping After Dry Condition

    I found the invoice for the pump replacement back in 2006 (so the original was less than three years old at the time, and it was longer ago than I thought). 1HP 320V, 2 Wire 1PH Franklin Pump Motor "Pump is set at 580 feet" So based on Waterwelldude's comments, it's not wonder these pumps are...

    Well Pump Won't Stop Pumping After Dry Condition

    About four night's ago the tank on one of our toilets failed to seal after a flush, and the water stayed running all night. In the morning, nothing came out of our faucets. I turned the breaker off for the well pump for a couple hours and then reset the breaker and we had water again...
