double drop deep well jet pump buzzes for ten seconds and shuts off

My 20 year old Covert double drop deep well jet pump buzzes for ten seconds and shuts off produing no water. The impeller shaft runs feely. I have replaced the capacitor and pressure switch. What do I do next? What pump should I replace it with? I haven't been able to find one for a double drop system.

Welcome to the forums.

It sounds like the centrifugal start switch on the pump may be bad.

There are plenty of replacement well pumps available. It may be better for you to find a local pump company in your area where you can go for parts and help.

My personal favorite.... Myers
