Just a curious lurker; how high SHOULD it be able to
push it? Only expect ballpark, not specifics.

Ok. Got it back together today, ran the pump and it
cant pump the final
10 pounds of pressure. It shuts off at 50 and cant
get there. It can
get to 40 fine (about a minute from 40. But after
that if im lucky itll
reach 44 and thats about it.

After that I pulled apart the pump to check for any
blockages. There
werent any but the part the water comes out of on
the pump. (Im talking
internally, with 5 passages for water to be "forced"
out) was loose.

I thightened everything back together, and im at the
same point. Works
great to 40 psi then cant really get any higher.

Sounds good. Looks like replacing the seals is the
next job up. Try
calling a few pump companies, irrigation suppliers is
a good start.
Give them the pump make and model and ask for a quote
on overhauling
it. Might as well get a quote on a new one also.
