I know Myers pumps are revered in MI by the fruit growers, but has
anyone rebuilt a Myers jet shallow well pump? Mine runs fine and does
not leak, but no longer pumps. (1/3 HP) I am thinking the jet may be
worn out. (Sandy acid, high iron water.)
I am going to look for a kit, but since Max recently put his back
together, I wondered if anyone has BTDT. I would guess this mode of
failure may be common to all brands of jet pumps.
I expected bearing or seal failure or perhaps other leaks. I figger if
I am going to rebuild it I should put new bearings in the motor also.
But it may be better to just buy a new pump and salvage the motor.
Has anyone found a jet pump that clearly outperforms others?
I have 3 jet pumps. One Wayne in service, the dead Myers and a Sta-Rite
that was frozen I bought with a pressure tank for $5. It has been JB
welded and is ok, but my plan for it is to use it to pump lake water for
garden, lawn etc. I have a second well, so I want a pump on it so
when one well needs service, the other well will still be available. A
great goal would be to have 2 or 3 identical pumps.
