Default Water pressure booster pump won't start consistently - do you rebuild the bearings?

Wonder if he knows what the down-hole pump capacity/HP rating
is...that'd give an idea what its output is.

The new well here put out 75 gpm w/ an almost wore-out oilfield 10 hp
rig for the test/cleanout run...it probably has at least 3X the
capacity; put a 3 in the hole that's between 25-30 gpm which is plenty
for the house and cattle...


Holy ****. The tank input line has a flow gauge which goes round and round
which NEVER indicates more than about 6 gallons a minute and which can only
do that fast pace for only a few minutes before it shuts down.
