My well pump failed after 15 years or so for a small apartment building. well company put in a 1hp Flowise submersible. I was Billed $1,800 for the pump alone ( not including labor) . I know there’s markups but not sure what percentage is standard. So I did a little price checking. When I told a pump supply company that a 1hp was used. They said overkill and it will shorten life of pump. Also I found the pump for about $500 wholesale . Appreciate any advice before I pay the bill. Tank is a 33 gallon with a 40-60 switch. 7 people total in building. No irrigation needed. Live in western NY .
