Ugh,
So Monday my neighbor calls me (its my second home) and says he thinks the pump breaker is tripped at my house. So I remotely open the door but then he said it wasn't the breaker.
So I start remotely looking at the power draw of the pump and I can see it is cycling on and off and I text him and tell him.
SO he tells me he is having his house pressure washed - I don't think this is a good idea and tell him the pump is cycling off and on. He says they are almost done.
So surprise surprise the pump failed today. He calls and says it will be 4k - we have another well we can connect to - I say lets just connect to that. He goes ahead and replaces the pump anyway without my approval
I have data that shows the pump was cycling off and on rapidly during the pressure washing (attached) for about 5-6 hours... Then again for a few hours the next day.
(well is on my property and I pay for the power) - I think if you broke it you should pay for it.
You can actually see the pump oscillating off and on pretty well. He say the motor was hit by a surge or lightning. I say the motor was burned out by the constant water demand/off and on.
Here everything is normal power draw wise for a whole month until the pressure washing day.
