Dave,
One MAJOR item that was missed on your Phase 1 topic is the electrical service. That can not be understated. The existing pump is not able to do the job. Not only is it underpowered in terms of HP, it can't even go past about 65% of the underpowered level because of the insufficient wiring that serves it. Wires overheat and that can cause a fire. So, extrapolating here. Newer pump can not work for a while until total re-wiring. The Amperage that they have there now, maximum, won't suffice. We're not talking 110 V or 220 V but likely 480 V. So, feeding that, along with the pump and the like, per my recollection is certainly going to take longer than the time frame you recalled. You might want to ask about this.
