average life of well pump
These types of pumps give very reliable performance for a number of years. Unfortunately, life is hard for a motor stuck in the bottom of a well. The average lifespan of a pump is probably about 10-15 years. Some pumps will definitely go longer, while some stop working in less. One way or another, the pump will need to be replaced at some point. The pump to the left was in use for about 12 years.
