How can a water pump be repaired?

[kacper6768]

A broken water pump for a well looks something like this

but it's a different model It broke down last year in the fall that it buzzed a little louder than normal when it pumps water, I turned it on for over a minute or about 2 minutes and then I thought that the water must be taken from the well to the hose, it takes time but still does not want to pump. Did this pump just break down more that I turned it on for 2 minutes. Why won't this one pump water when it hums. Can this pump be repaired? Can this pump be repaired? How much is the cheapest new pump in the store? This pump was bought 3 years ago in a store, is it still under warranty? Can this pump be repaired? Is it possible to buy just a broken part for the pump? Is better buy used pumps or only new ones?

Take it from someone who tried: no.

 

You could try rebuilding the impeller on the inside if you know how to find it but honestly youlll most likely to spend almost at-cost to the water pump.

Check the warranty card on the water pump, you saved that right?

Since its been 3 years i id think the warranty has expired. If it has I dont see a reason for you not to open it up and check. It looks serviceable to me but that depends on if youre able to get the parts you need from the manufacturer and youll probably gonna need some tools to get it done properly.

Depending on the pump and support a rebuild kit is potentially available for far cheaper than a new pump (I've rebuilt the pump for our boiler system with such a kit).

 

Also depends what the problem is. From the sounds of it the pump may not even be turning, or turning at a low/suboptimal RPM to pump the water to the top of the hose.

Yeah it all depends on what the actual issue is, viability of parts or rebuild in terms of what may be involved.

 

Sometimes you may get lucky, impellor just jammed on something and is undamaged for example.

 

Can often get brushes for motors that use them, seals, bearings and so on but if it's a fault with the motor itself usually replace the whole thing.

 

Wouldn't go for 2nd hand unless you are competent in diagnosing and repairing as too many unknowns.
