The pump on the good ol well finally died. It was cheaper to go ahead and replace it with another like model versus buying just the pump itself. This is a very easy DIY project for those who have a well, but paid someone else to put it in. If your pump fails, follow this quick video to see how easy it is to remove a hose and replace it onto a new one. Save yourself a little money.

    Just bought one of these to pressurize my irrigation. I also have just the pump for extracting from the pond. Thanks. Really informative.

    Adding some data to videos about this pump and tank combo: I've measured with a fluke clamp meter the inrush/max as 40A 120Vac.

    The rear of the tank has a sharader valve fitting where you're supposed to pressurize with air up to 23#.

    I have the same as the New Pump . The black box on top has a start capacitator you can replace when it goes bad . $10 . The bladder inside my tank went bad at 2 years old . To avoid burning out the motor and start capacitator unplug the pump , open the water valve and add air to the back of the tank . Black round plastic thing on the back on the tank unscrews showing a tire air valve . The pressure gage should drop to 20 psi . Close water valve . add air to 40 psi .I have to add air every two days . I'm sure the bladder can be replaced but I'm too lazy to try it . Have fun ....

    How deep is this thing pulling ?? And what’s on the bottom of the 1” pipe that’s in the well casing

    Symptom like that means the us$5 capacitor is busted.
