I'm having water pressure issues. Well pressure is reading 12psi. I checked the well tank and it good at 38 psi. I put a multimeter to the pump switch and for a 230V unit it's at about 238. I'm guessing that the pump is going bad.
If I have to replace the well pump I assume the one I have to one of those slender submersible styles given the size of the pipe coming up. Picture attached. Can I "easily" swap this out for one of the cast iron pumps? I'm looking at a 1HP Everbilt convertible Jet pumps, any problems with going with this style?
Also, is it better if I swap things out to PVC pipe and drop that down with a foot valve?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
