The above is a deer trail. And a trail to the in ground water pump. Why are you looking for the water pump, Francis?
Glad you asked.
Take a guess......You are right. (No,) as in -n-o- water to the summer camp. Not good. Not good at all. Ugh

So the deer trail.
When you live higher than the water towers in your area. No water pressure. Hence, the water pump.

So, after arriving to the in ground water pump. I took this photo below.

Too many pressure tanks Francis. You should only need one. Right?
Well. I didn't do the set up in the first place. So, I wouldn't know anyway.

So, I took both tanks loose, unbolted the pump, and took all the lines off. The electric plug in is at the pump location too.
That makes it very handy.

The above is the none functioning water pump. I took it out of the mini pump house. I will need to take it to the "plumbing and electrical" shop in the morning. I will let you know what this water pump outcome will be.
Can it be salvaged? I don't really know. The shaft isn't locked up. It turns easily.
I have a suspicion it could be the starter capacitor. Just a guess. When an electric motor just hums, generally that means it is locked up or the booster capacitor isn't working.
But, I could be wrong. I am not an electrician or a plumber. Just a barnyard mechanic at best. lol

Thank you for following my blog. You may add your own comments to this content, if you wish. I certainly don't know.
I know some of you could tell me immediately.
Tomorrow I will know too. Ha
