My dayton pump on my well went out this winter. I have a two line jet system 55 feet deep. I couldn't another dayton so I went to Home Depot and bought the flotec that was roughly the same size. I plumbed it all up hooked it up the electrcal and started the pump. It would run for a second then stop then about 30 seconds later it would run for a second and stop. I checked the pressure switch it was not turning off so it is the pump. Then double checked the voltage and wiring to make sure it was correct. That made no difference. This is a recreational property so I had to leave. I called the pump company and they said it must be the wrong voltage. I tested it and it read 220 on a light test but they said that's not accurate enough. Here's the question. I am heading back up this weekend and was wondering what I will run into. I plan on buying a voltage tester to see what it's actually at. The property is a bit of the beating path so what should I bring with me to repair the voltage. How could the voltage be all wired 220 but off? What are the likely causes? The wiring 20 years old and the old pump ran fine but the housing cracked and wouldn't prime.

I am installing two sub panels. One for the garage so I can cut the current to my electrical tools and one in my basement for a recording studio. Max draw on either panel is about 35 amps. I have two 50 amp breakers in the main panel to feed the sub panels. 1. Do I need a disconnect between the main and sub panel? 2. Is #8 wire overkill for a panel with estimated 35 amp draw I know that I have to run wire with two feeds (Black and Red), a neutral, and a ground. I also know that there has to be a ground bar in the sub panel and that the neutral bar can not be bonded to the sub panel. The garage is attached.
