I get calls about failed pumps all the time. Many times, the customer is frustrated because this will be their third or fourth pump. We all know that in many instances do-it-yourselfers (or their buddy who "knows what he’s doing") have gone to the hardware store, and replaced their pump with a sump pump, or whatever pump they see on a shelf. That’s not going to pressurize a mound properly nor lift water up a very tall hill.
One of the biggest mistakes made when replacing a failed pump is just putting in the same model pump that was originally there.
