I never use the Grundfos pumps, but use standard AC deep well pumps, so
long as the inverter can handle it. The off the shelf pumps aren't as
efficient, but stay in the water for much longer. They are also cheaper.

An SQF quiet? I've had three 3 SQF-2 and they are all quite loud, even
300 ft down the well. Maybe the 6 SQF is different. My old 3 SQF-2 will
still pump water but not against much head. I think it failed because
it had been running 24/7 for some time. If the leak is in the well it
might even have heated up the water. I'm still looking for that
leak.Time to pull the pump yet again.

Hello All,
I just replaced a customer's Grundfos 6-SQF-2. It had stopped pushing
water to their upper cistern.
A new pump solved the customer's problem, but I am curious if anyone
has had luck repairing a SQFlex pump or (better yet!!) knows of a
service center that could refurb a pump.?
The pump I removed did move a little water once I had it un-coupled
from the plumbing in the lower cistern spring box. It made a bit more
noise when operating than the new one which is incredibly quiet.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
