DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO FIND A DEEP WATER WELL PUMP THAT ISN'T OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED.. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANNA GIVE OUT PRICES OF PUMPS ON THE NET!!!

A 1/2H.P. PUMP RUNS BETWEEN 460 AND 900 UP HERE IN MAINE!!!
SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE TO GIT ONE FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN THAT!! I'D REALLY LIKE 2 STEP UP 2 A 3/4 H.P.

THANKS TO ALL AND LOVE THIS SITE AND ALL THE WONDERFUL AND HELPFUL PEOPLE HERE...YA'LL ARE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

HEY GUY'S /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif!!!
FIRST OF ALL THANX FOR YER REPLIES!!!
MY BETTER HALF JIST TALKED 2 A FRIEND WHO HAS A 1 HP FOR LESS THAN $$200!!!
MY PUMP IS A 3 WIRE 240 VOLT 1/2 H.P 5.9 AMPER
THIS 1 HP PUMP WITH 4 WIRES ..THEORETICALLY A 120 VOLT PUMP WILL HAVE 2 WIRES ONE GROUND AND ONE HOT 120 VOLTER...A3 WIRE SYSTEM WILL HAVE ONE GRND,AND 2 HOTS, AND COMBININ THE 2 HOTS WILL GIVE U YER 240 V'S LIKE MY EXISTING ONE HAS....IS A 4 WIRE JOB JIST USING 2 GRNDS MAYB A CASING GRND...ITS GOT A 1 1/4" MAIN WATER OUTLET AND FOUR WIRES..BY JUMPING FROM 1/2 TO 1 H.P WILL MEAN I HAVE 2 GET A STEP DOWN ADAPTER OF SOME TYPE 1 1/4 TO 1 " BECAUSE OF THE PIPE I HAVE EXISTING...
OTHER THOUGHTS I HAVE ARE COULD THE 4 WIRE SETUP BE 3 PHASE??? AND WILL THE EXTRA AMPERAGE CAUSE ANY CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS LONG TERM...MYEXISTING PUMP RUNS ON A 20 AMP 120/240 2 PHASE BREAKER...THE EXTRA UMMMPFFF OF A 1 HORSE MAY B NICE AND NOT WORK NEARLY AS HARD...OR IS IT 2 MUCH ...MY PUMP IS SET AT 213' AND WE'VE ONLY RUN THE WELL DRY ONCE AFTER RUNNIN THE PRESSURE WASHER FOR A WHOLE DAY SOLID...
MY CURRENT WIRE IS 12 GA. 600V.SUBMERSIBLE CENTRILINE ONE RED ,ONE BLK AND ONE GRN....WILL THIS STUFF AND THE ADDED AMPEREAGE...ALSO WHILE I'M AT IT MY WELL IS ALMOST 400' DEEP SHOULD I ADD 2 THE DEPTH OF THE PUMP SO I WONT RUN OUT AGAIN?????
