[RE-wrenches] Grundfos SQFlex Pump Repair

[Bradley Bassett]

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.
