My well is now 25 years old and getting noisy. Some of my neighbors have already replaced their pumps 2x over the same time period mine has been running.
I'm thinking it would be a good idea to replace the pump now - on my schedule, before it fails. I think I can do this myself.
But I'm not sure what size submersible pump I have. The well is 350ft deep. I'm in central FL.
One neighbor said his pump is 3HP.
I'm told there are some pumps better suited for sandy soils/conditions. Also there is a lot of iron in the water.
I'll get the Pump, hose/pipe, cable/wire, connectors/clamps, controller. Anything else?
I also plan to use flexible poly-pipe unless I'm told otherwise.
Any recommendations on pump brands or models (like Franklin or Goulds or ?) that would be better suited for my location?
