How the 3-inch Grundfos SQ saved another old water well

When an old submersible pump stopped giving water at a man’s countryside getaway in Texas, his well driller installed a small, 3-inch model from Grundfos, the SQ. The well’s original 4-inch metal casing for the pump was rusty, leaving very little space for a regular 4-inch pump to go back in.
Water well driller Darrell Ferguson says, “If you try to put a four-inch pump in an old well like that, you'll stick the pump before you ever get it all the way down. And then the customer loses the pump and the well.” This means the customer has to pay for another pump and dig a new well. “The 3-inch slimline keeps customers from having to pay for drilling a new well when the old well is still producing good water. I've been using those three-inch slim lines for as long as I can remember, and they hold up good. They're very dependable. They can really pump some water.”
A year later, the Grundfos SQ has performed well beyond the property owner Mitch Thame’s expectations.
“I thought a smaller pump would mean less quantity, less pressure. But I was totally wrong. It has provided us with everything we've been wanting - both from the pressure and the quantity standpoints,” Mitch says.
