There are many variables here, so I will answer as best as I can. The pump cost itself depends on whether it's a Shallow Well jet pump, a Deep jet pump or a Deep Well submersible. A shallow jet pump can be found as low as 350 for a reasonable 1/2 hp model that will suck from about 24 feet max. -A deep well jet can suck from 80 feet, and these are seldom less than 550 or so to buy.

An average 3/4 hp submersible (which I believe to better in every case, even in shallow wells) will cost you around 750-800 for a good new one. These will pump (rather than suck) from anywhere down to 5-600 feet. I always prefer to use these type of pumps as they are far more reliable, easy to fit and long lasting. -More money to begin with, but a much better deal ! -Other necessities are the drop tube and wire, For tubing I always use 1" polypropylene thick wall tube - about 70 cents per foot. For a submersible also add 14/4 wire which runs about a dollar per foot (all the way down to the pump.) -Wire for a jet pump is negligible as the pump is on the surface.

It takes about 5-6 hours labour to fit a deep well sub pump and about 4-5 to fit a jet pump. I don't know where you are, so can't price labour. Here in western Canada it runs 85-105 per hour.

Some other tips- Definitely NOT a good idea to use old tubing for the pumpdrop. - If it's a deep well Submersible always change the control box.

- If its a jet pump of any type, heat all tubing before connecting and doing up clamps. Most problems with jetpumps start with small air leaks at badly connected tubing. - Alwaysmount a shut off ball valve between jet pump and pressure tank. -You'll see why when you prime it !

- Before starting either pump first time, make sure your pressure tank has an adequate air charge !

What is causing low water pressure in house and pump to constantly buzz in a deep well?

I do not know your situation but a good guess is that your well pump is always on and is not getting enough pressure to shut off the pressure switch. So I would shut off the power to your well pump and see if the buzzing stops and if it does then I would replace your well pump. If the buzzing don't stop with pump shut off then it could still be your well pump check valve slowly leaking threw but I think its your pump because its not pumping enough to shut off with or with out a bad check valve.


How do you replace water well psi pressure gauge?

You switch off the pump, drain the pressure tank, then remove old gauge and fit new one.


Can you replace a two pipe jet pump with a single pipe jet pump?

Yes you can if the water level from the inlet of the pump is less than 25 feet. That's the limit of a shallow well jet pump. It can lift water physically 25 feet vertically, no more. If the well casing diameter is three inch or larger you could also install a submersible pump.[url="http://www.pumpsandtanks.com/Pumps/jet_pumps.htm"]Jet Pumps[/url]


What if your well pump has 80 psi?

Your well pump should be set with the aid of a pressure switch. If it is set at 80 then it will shut off at 80 and come back on when it goes to 60. You must have a big pump to get to 80 but that is good -- must pumps shut off at 60 and come back on at 40 i like the better pressure myself it just cost more for a bigger pump and a bigger pressure tank

How do you calculate shared well monthly cost?

To determine the cost of electricity used by the well pump of a shared well you could: 1) run the pump's electrical wiring through a electrical meter. Electrical meters of sufficient wattage are available from many hardware stores. This method is fairly exact in finding out how much electricity the pump uses. Finding out how much of that electricity was used to pump your water vs their water can be determined by installation of water meters.
