I wanted to tell you thank you for all of your helpful resources. Yesterday morning our 40 year old well pump died. And I had no idea what to do and didn't want to pay someone to fix it. So I did as much research as I could. Pulled the old pump out myself and bought a Grundfos pump locally and installed it. We're back in action and water is working again in our home. Thanks for teaching me a new valuable skill!
good luck. i haven't been able to find a pump that lasts longer than a couple years anymore. tired of replacing these things.
Modern day quality control is lacking big time! 1990 pumps would last 18-25 years, 2015+ pumps you'll get 6-13 years

@Sam A nah I'm good.
@@SamA-xu9gy I'm not sure why this is here but it must be answered. This is a long reply but the truth must be based on substantiated facts. A lie or half-truth, well, that's another story.
If you get to the end, maybe, you will find an eternal reward. Most of what is stated is taken directly from the Bible: KJV, CEV or BBE.
> Christianity is NOT pagan.
> Statues/icons in churches are an evidence that that church is not following the teaching of scripture on THAT POINT.
> Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
> Jesus, the Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain equal with God. Instead he gave up everything and became a SLAVE, when he became like one of us. Christ was humble. He obeyed His FATHER and even died on a cross. Then the FATHER gave Christ the highest place and honored his name above all others. So at the name of Jesus everyone will bow down, those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. And to the glory of God the Father everyone will openly agree, "Jesus Christ is Lord!"?
> Children who are under age are no better off than SLAVES, even though everything their FATHER owns will someday be theirs. This is because children are placed in the care of guardians and teachers until the time their FATHER has set. When the time was right, God the Father sent his Son, and a woman, conceived and gave birth to him, via the Holy Spirit. His Son obeyed the Law, so he could set us free from the Law, and we could become God's children.
> God is a TRINITY, three persons; Father/God, Son/Jesus and the Holy Spirit. These three comprising an individual. The Individual that is you is also a TRINITY composed of a: SOUL; giving you self awareness, BODY; environmental awareness, SPIRIT; God awareness.
> Religion that pleases God the Father must be pure and spotless. You must help needy orphans and widows and not let this world make you evil.
God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! No one who has faith in God's Son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn't have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God's only Son. The light has come into the world, and people who do evil things are judged guilty because they love the dark more than the light. People who do evil hate the light and won't come to the light, because it clearly shows what they have done. But everyone who lives by the truth will come to the light, because they want others to know that God is really the one doing what they do.
God's Son comes from heaven and is above all others. Everyone who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all others. He speaks about what He has seen and heard, and yet no one believes Him. But everyone who does believe Him has shown that God is truthful. The Son was sent to speak God's message, and He has been given the full power of God's Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given Him everything. He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.
In my experience (I'm not a professional but have set many pumps over the years) a pump failure is almost always a motor failure. I've dismantled junked sixteen or eighteen year old pumps and they looked like new inside. The motors were toast. A friend gave me her old 1.5hp Grundfos pump and I simply installed a brand new motor on it, then installed it in my own well. That was a few years ago, and it continues to run well. Now, I did see a 1/2hp Red Lion pump that failed, and one of the impellers had self-destructed, so sometimes it IS the pump that failed. But as a rule, it's almost always the motor. Great videos! I subscribed and plan to watch them all, even though I've done this kind of work for years.
Did that motor run on 120v or 240v?
Thanks for showing. It is amazing they last as long as they do.
We’ve been hauling water now for5yrs and finally had a hole drilled last month. We are piecing it out because our income is very limited. I got lucky hopefully and got a pump today that I’m hoping still works. If not I’m going to try and get it going. My well is 325 to static water level 30+ gpm hole is 520 deep I’m panning on setting pump at 350 and using 200psi roll pipe.
Your videos are helping me tremendously to understand how and what I need to be doing. Ty 🙏
Love it, very cool thanks
As Usual Very interesting to the End! Thanks! Very interesting...
Awesome video I always wondered what and how about these :)
Power surge or lightening most likely, cause they are smooth like a motor cylinder normally ,did it have a burnt smell as well ?
Nice video, I just replaced my 1 HP 240 volt pump...and hanging on 240 feet of 1-1/4" vinyl pipe...I've never worked with a well before, so being a noob...I did everything myself, in 20 degree weather...old pump motor was seized after a big leak under the house let it run 24/7 for several months, sucked the well dry and overheated the water cooled motor.
Years ago I worked in a shop that rewound all sorts of motors...the type of motor would probably cost about as much as 2 or even 3 pumps to get rewound.
I was waiting to hear you say it's not worth it to rebuild. Save the motor shaft to check the pump end as a tool Gould's we are a distributor for them👍 also not worth rebuilding but possible. It's a e clip. Slam it on the table it will all come out. Nice job have a great one till the next one 🌊💯🥂👌✌️
Respect 🙏 🙌 ❤️
the cost to replace all of the components of my goulds 5gs15412 cost $445. a new wet end at the time would have cost almost double that. yes it is worth rebuilding
@@Sicasevilisnow add over 200$ per hour for me to rebuild it at least 4 hr shop time to rebuild and test it your only talking price of mineral and your almost at the same price with no factory warranty most companies aren't going to pinch pennies and want to spend there time when your talking less than 100$ difference in less you do it all yourself and know how to because mistakes aren't cheap then it's all on you that my opinion. then your installing it how knows how far down the labor for install price how going to cover all that👍👌✌️💦💯🍻⚒️💪🇺🇸
joseph, really? thats alot of complicated talk.
i did it myself. i know that goulds does not provide a warranty for homeowners. but honestly the water works companies were going to charge $5k to remove the pump, then the new pump cost and another $6k to install plus cost of any drop pipe sections needing replaced as well as milspec tape and ptfe tape and joint ptfe as well. at the time i had zero options as we had spent our entire savings to by the property and cabin. it was either repair myself or wait a couple years to to get the cash together. thanks for the talk
@@Sicasevilis your just talking about replacing the pump. I was talking about a actual tear down and rebuild of the pump end and install. The actual rebuild of the pump end on a sub is not worth the time and coast I can understand the rest it does save money and worth the time have a great one till the next one 👍👌✌️💯💦
Awesome
Any shallow well tutorials?
Not this video but on a spring pitless adapter when installing it back in place how do you know when it is engaged correctly to be able to pull the pitless bar ? we had it disengage twice and finally cut a piece of 1x4 down to slide down in and push the spring lever down which seemed to work but not an experienced well person my comfort level is not satisified at this point. Thanks Dennis
Can you cut one well pump in half by a grinder or other cutter tool to see the inside.
When the bottom was open water came out was this a leak or do the pump rotor run wet?
Well how bout dat - a well pump is built a lot like a suppressor. We need to JV and repurpose those housings.
If it not rebuildable, the how was it built?
I would like to see the insides of a Chinese DC solar pump some are I believe DC brush less motors, and some are Mono pump stages too, although from watching your channel, I would choose centrifugal type.
Many of those Chinese pumps have brushes, regardless of the seller's claims. There are videos here on TH-cam showing that. Spend the money and buy American! I say that as a Canadian neighbour.
Soooo, some tight wad could have just installed an external check valve on the outlet of the pump and kept going ... PS, I really do appreciate the tear down. I looked a the parts diagram and it seems all the stages are supposed to be the same for a given model. Oh, the rubber "hat" you saw in the bottom is a pressure balancing diaphragm. The liquid in the motor (distilled water? Light oil?) is, I think supposed to be sealed.
Seems like a good reason to install an external check valve when installing the pump the first time.
I have a question about these water well they can't be rebuilt can the bottom bearing be replaced
I would love to see a video of a dropped pump sitting at the bottom of a well and how you handle that?. Does that happen often?
this has occurred with a pump 200 ft down on a 400 ft well. i retrieved itwith a 1 inch shark bite coupler that cost $12
@@Sicasevilis can you give some more details on how and exactly what you used?
yes
Orbit 35679 1" PVC-Lock Flex Repair, 1-Inch, White
is the exact part i used. h
just connect it to yourdrop pipe and lower it down.
i did use a cheap swann night vision camera(removed from mounting stand) with 200ft cord inside the pipe repair coupling. i could see the broken pipe and was able to place the repair coulling over it and pushed down to connect! amazingly only took a few tries to get it connected.
the camara set was swan from sam's club 69 bucks and the cable from best buy was 25 bucks.
my well is 420 feet and 200 feet is very heavy still with a pump at the bottom. if youhave any more questions let me know
@@Sicasevilis that's great to know thanks so much for the reply and the details
House calls to Indiana?😎😎😎
2 wire pump with start mechanism?
Hello, that blue tape you use on the electric connection down in the well at the motor, what's the name of brand of it
I've been using 3M 33 electrical tape for decades, it works just as well as shrink wrap.
Do you recommend Dayton well pumps?
Never heard of them. If the motor on them is made by Franklin electric
AC motors like the one in this video use rotors, not armatures. Armatures are what is inside brushed DC motors.
Turn that crescent wrench around and use it right.
I just opened a can of stuff, didn't I?
Hey man I was pulling my pump out of my well, when I pull out about 20’ it gets stuck on something and I can no longer pull. The tag says it’s 240’ deep. What should I do?
Is this a 4" well or 6".
Either way, your hanging on something. Get the that sweet spot where it hangs, go up & down & keep feeling that bump, then rotate the pipe,walking circles around the well, one direction and then the other. It's a pain, but you should be able to get it by whatever it is hanging on. Typically the pumps wire guard is hanging the bottom lip of the pvc casing. If its 4" casing & a 4" pump, it's a real pain in the rear end
It’s motor not pump, pump will attached with it at top. The purpose of the motor is to convert the electrical energy to mechanical by rotating the rotors by the help of magnetic field produced in the stator.
I have a question, my well is 33ft deep and i have a submersible pump, question is can i tap into my water line where it feeds into my house to install a manual pump for power outages, i would be pulling it through my submersible pump
No, I won't pull threw the pump. Impeller stack in the pump is too tight
Hey bud like what you are doing, never put a pump down but have worked for a national distributer for 15 years, happy to help with some tech if you like
Ps cant edit but much of my work is warranty assesments
He said that these motors are not worth the time to rebuild. I am a disabled guy with nothing but time on my hands, I have just put a used pump down, and was wondering if it can be rebuilt? When the only commodity a man possesses is time, he is often willing to spend an inordinate amount of it to accomplish a goal.
I worked in a highly technical field before I was injured, and have built hot rod engines before, so I am not the average layman. How would one begin to find the process to rebuild one of these pumps successfully?
@@johnhurtme hi, motors are not really worth repairing unless you can rewind them yourself, if you bolt your motor adaptor on to a good motor it will set the pump shaft at the correct height then as you assemble bowls and impellers you want aprox 10 thou clearance between the underside of the impeller and the bowl, this is usually achieved using shims, the rest is pretty straight forward. If you need any more info don't hesitate to ask cheers
Questions? There are two black wires and one green wire. Whic one is (+) and which one is (-)?
It doesn't matter, both are + legs. You can't mix it up.
Interesting-mine is 26 years old.
Hi yeah I have a question but I guess its a tough one . The price of a brand name is probaly around the 900 to 1200 Euro for a 750 w deep well pump . But lately I see Chinese unbranded for 200 to 300 euro . That’s a big difference is there anybody with experience using those ? It's very temting . Ireland

The long answer for rebuilding a well pump is no also. It will cost more than replacing it
when you said Elon Musk LOL you got a like from me:
it's ok, elon musk doesn't know a lot about electric motors either. his engineers do, that he gives zero credit to.
Who else squinted @8:20
In Ukraine, they rebuilt the well pumps, and they rebuild almost everything Americans think are non-rebuildable. They do for a fraction of the cost of the new one. Having lived in Ukraine for 6 years before the war, I saw many things that was disposable rebuilt.
Not true, they're not terribly smart enough
@@Boycott_Wendys actually they are, Ukrainians are some of the best engineers at designing rocket motors, and many other things, NASA even buy Ukrainian rocket motors.
I lived 6 years in Ukraine before the war, and there was a master that could repair about anything. I had something break, and my wife took it to the master and it was repaired in 3 days good as new.p, and in the USA it would have been thrown in the trash.
Don’t be stupid and sell Ukrainians short, remember the worlds largest aircraft the An-225 was designed and built by Ukrainians.
@@raymondheckard234 those ones were Russians
@@Boycott_Wendys no European versions of the pumps sold in the USA. Same exact brands that Hensley uses just they are wired for European current
@@raymondheckard234 Are you trolling Mr Putin?
You are definitely and absolutely WRONG and incorrect!
wrong about the terminology swhile naming the pump parts. each complete stage has a stainless steel bowl, a diffuser, and then an upthrust washer and then the impeller. there are SS shims between each stage.
you are INCORRECT with your statement that pumps cannot be rebuilt! the Technical specification and service manual boasts that thefloating stack designed pumps are "field serviceable" and parts are so much more economical than purchasing a new pump! please, research the products and record a video that is true in regards to them.
Love your videos! I lol when you pulled out the Bruiser water end. Have not seen one in a long time.
