Great pump

We’ve had a Goulds pump in the past and were very happy with it. We decided it was worth the extra few hundred dollars to get another good pump for our well. So, we bought this pump Aug 25, 2024.This pump worked great for about 6 months and now it won’t hold pressure. The pump just continually runs and when unplugged, the water flows back. I understand that nothing is perfect and even great products aren’t always perfect. My biggest complaint is that I can’t reach the seller, Greenland Supplies Inc, Amazon can’t help, and the direct manufacturer told me to contact the seller, which I can’t.I would still buy this pump again, but only through a company that has proven reliable customer service.If, I can get a hold of the seller, I will update this post.

Item was as advertised and delivered ahead of schedule.

We originally had a old 1/2hp SIMMER jet pump for our shallow well. It was fine enough, but you couldnt take a shower and have laundry going or laundry and dishwasher so we had to stagger everything. the well finally went "bad", cracked casing i think. I pounded in a new well and then hooked up the simmer to test if the pressure was good....we were getting MAYBE 2.5/3 gpm....I was going to pound it in further then we decided to try the GOULD and wallah! 8 1/2 - 9 gpm!! we are loving the amount of pressure we always get!This is in the basement below our room. The floor has no insulation just open boards and then carpet so it is "loud" compared to having no noise there before. The first few nights were an adjustment, now i dont even notice it. Since it only kicks on at night when the Water Softeners REGEN at 2:30 am its not a big deal (or if someone is in the shower etc).Im going to building a nice framed/insulated box to go over the pump and pressure tank to dampen the noise and make it look nicer. Since the basement floor is cool i think we will be ok and not overheat. will update when i do this to let you know.

We purchased this pump as a replacement for the exact same pump that I allowed to freeze, and break, during a very cold winter season.This replacement pump was a perfect direct replacement and after fitting the existing piping off of the broken pump, the new pump was in and running in less than 10 minutes. Helps to allow air to bleed out of the piping so that the system is purged and this pump can actually run in water, but that was my fault again.
