I'm going to have to go down there and take a look. Just looks like a plain
old above ground pump to me with a plain old pressure tank that's about 3 or
3.5 feet tall. The pressure tank needs to be replaced (the bladder is shot)
but they cost a bucket out here.
O.K., so I asked DH what the pump is. It's a Berkley or Berkeley? Not sure
of the spelling and I don't know the size or anything else about it.
And, the pump is as old as the house which would make it over 25 years old.
I'm thinking they don't make them like that anymore <g>
