Out with the old and in with the new a few hours ago.   I got a new 3/4hp
pump from CTC today.  $372 with taxes.  :(   The new one runs much quieter.
  I do believe that these are referred to as "jet-pump".  I'll
send you a picture and point to the area where the water seal was
compromised.  It came out the side.

Meanwhile.. still losing water pressure.  The pump kicks in every 17
minutes.  Plumber is betting that it's the foot valve. That will get done
some time Friday.

Nice. Thanks.
