Cost of a well pump please.

[Mollie the cat]

I think our well pump has packed in, can anyone please tell me who sells them and approx cost, cheers.

A 1HP one was about 250 Euros a year ago from Press Teknik in Alsancak.

That's probably more than adequate for normal domestic use including Garden, Pool etc.

Might also depend on how deep the well is - i.e. the height that the water needs to be pumped up to reach the surface...

Press Teknik can advise.

Keith, our well pump is 40 mtrs down the hole in the ground - deep well! Twice in the last 15 years the capacitor that turns the pump on has failed and I thought it was the pump the first time, apparently it is a common fault with a deep well! Maybe this could be Mollie's fault before she shells out loads of dosh on a new pump it is worth a try!

Thanks guys, thats really good information. I filled up the balance tank two days ago, it took about 90 minutes, I didnt realise the pump had gone off until to late! Its happened before when the well went dry, but the last time it happened the pump was fine, a guy we know is calling next week to look at it.

Why not take it to Press Teknik in Alsancak for repair/

Thanks, I may do that, I am hopeless at this stuff however, the guy I know who does know is coming Monday.

If you need a 2nd opinion, the Press Teknik guy will come out to look at it anyway.
