The GPM on my 12 year old Goulds 10GS05 240V 3-wire is slowing down. I have the pressure switch set to 30-50 and while the wife is filling her soaker tub, the gauge cannot get above 30 PSI. The lower GPM (pressure) is also affecting the backwash on my iron filter and the aeration through the micronizer. I have a 3/4" copper line from the iron filter/softener to the hot and cold manifolds and 1/2" copper lines to the tub.
I've been trying to source parts to rebuild the Goulds but not having much luck. Maybe rebuilding a 12 year old pump makes no sense and I should replace. One on-line dealer that sells Goulds quoted me a Berkely when I asked them to quote Goulds. I cannot make sense of the quote to determine what exact model they are quoting but suspect it is a plastic model.
A local dealer quoted me a Grundfos 10S05-9. The local dealer said I can reuse the existing Franklin control box from the Goulds.
I think I should replace rather than repair a 12 year old pump. I could always tear into the Goulds in my spare time and see if it's worth overhauling to have as a spare.
