Gould JO5 Water Pump Rebuild

[@G2Mexpert]

Excellent repair video. Inspired me to take a crack at refurbishing my own knowing that where there's a will there's a way.

Great vidoe have the same one. Where did you get the parts mine is leaking. Hope ur pump lasted these 4 years.

I had a similar problem. Replaced the pressure switch and tube to no avail. I took the easy way out and replaced the pump entirely. Cost for me was not quite $500CDN for a 3/4 hp Red Lion pump. I then did a destructive autopsy on the pump. Chock-a-block FULL of corrosion! Miracle I had any water at all! It begs the question. Why do they make these things out of cast iron in the first place? My pump went 19 years 8 months before I replaced it but I'd been having problems with it for about the last 18 months. So I'd say anytime after about 15-18 years one can expect either a new pump or a major overhaul. I looked at a stainless steel pump but the geometry just wasn't right for my situation and I didn't want to have to relocate the pump and pressure tank. But for that, I think a S/S pump is surely a better choice? Cost difference it not great.

ty for the vid. What kind of paint is safe to paint the inside to keep it from rusting out. this pump supplies the water to my house.

[@paulbernz]

I don’t know that I would paint the inside. The water to this pump has a lot of iron in it so maybe that’s why it was so bad. a pre filtration system before the pump might help.

The last gasket where did u buy it... I been looking for it but no luck... thanks ..great video

[@Utopia83]

Please help!! I’m helping my father out with his pump. He’s got no water at the moment. Is the strainer necessary or can you just place the foot valve on directly??

[@ljgaud]

Always check the foot valve too.

That was Great thank you,

[@richardmcdonald7565]

Nice video! That pump was corroded!!! I have one which has an impeller that I haven't yet been able to remove🤐 I don't seem to be able to take the motor completely off of the pump. If I could, I could power it with any motor, via a pulley

[@josephjabbour8549]
