I'm a rookie here and appreciate the chance to ask for some good advice.
I have been extremely fortunate to have a great well for over 35 years. When I moved in there was an old Myers pump that chugged along for a total of 52 years. When it finally died I got one at Lowe's and installed it myself - it lasted for 8 years. Now I have a crappy Utilitech that I knew wasn't much good but it was readily available. The well is about 30 feet deep and I have a good 25 gallon bladder tank attached. It should be running at 50/30 but the low end never was quite right. It was nice and quiet at first but now it's making a lot of noise. Sounds like a bearing but it's hard to tell. It's just now two years old. This thing is still under warranty but then I would just have a new crappy pump.
I really need to know what brand convertible jet pump I should get that will last me AND that I can find somewhere. Of course, nearly every brand gets "5 stars" on the sites that are selling them. Price is not a big consideration within reason. I'd like to buy from a local dealer but can do online if that's my only option. I'm 62 years old and I only want to do this one more time.
Thanks!
