It appears my old pump has given up the ghost. This afternoon as I was filling the horses' water trough the pump quit.
When I opened the pump shed's door to check on the pump I smelled a strong electrical smell. The water pressure was zero. I suspect the pump motor burned out.
The pump is very old. Very old.
I called Lyle, the pump and well person I have used in the past. He was very busy Monday and didn't call me back until after 8 pm. By then I had gone over to Bob and Jan's house to fill up several containers of water. That will last me until morning when Lyle can look my pump over. I guess I will have to skip having a shower in the morning.
This is what my pump looks like.
I use the brown board in the middle to help support the false ceiling in the pump. With all the insulation I have in that false ceiling I thought a little more help would be wise.
