Thanks for the info! I used you vid as a guide for replacing my motor last fall. Sharing it with my dad for a repair this spring.

Thanks for explaining how to lock the driveshaft by removing the capacitor! That was the one thing I couldn't figure out by myself. God bless!

This is an AWESOME video! You don't leave anything out, and don't waste time on anything that's not important. Thanks for the help. Got to go finish my pump now.

15 videos. this was the one Thanks

Thanks for the video. I couldn't remember if the impellers were LH thread.

saved me a LOT of frustration

You are a life saver !

A well done video, my Goulds pump has deep grooves in the impeller shaft housing. I have lost pressure. Is the problem with the grooves? I use the pump for irrigation. thanks

Excellent

a big big help,thanks

Thanks for the how-to! I just pulled one of these out of service on 5/5/20 and installed an old J5S in its place temporarily while I figure out what the hell I (stupidly) did to the J10S. It's a "comedy of errors" sort of story... My submersible pump went bad last Saturday after a dozen years in service. The motor is kaput: common/run and common/start were both in the hundreds of megohms. Pretty cut and dried. So we went out and bought all the stuff we needed to change the damn thing out. While doing the changeout, I thought I heard water flowing back into the well through the now-vacated pitless adaptor. It wasn't (a check valve at the buried side of the pitless prevents it), but at that point in time I thought it was, so I closed the valves on the storage tank, which is hundreds of feet from the well head. 4+ hours later, I discovered that I had neglected to turn off the breaker for the J10S. That discovery came in the form of finding the J10S hot enough to cook on and making an obnoxiously loud buzzing noise not unlike the alarm on a septic system. After cooling down overnight, it still buzzed, so I knew I was screwed. If I am reading the service manual correctly, the winding resistances check out, so I think the trouble is in the impeller area (hence my finding your video), which is a relatively inexpensive fix and well worth getting a workhorse like the J10S back in service. Plus, it's the newer style pump with the white circuit board in the motor, so I can probably do a rebuild kit without also having to replace the front casing. But I will need to open it up to be sure. In the meantime, I had a spare J5S on hand (because what home owner doesn't keep spare jet pumps in their garage?), so I was able to clean that up and put it back in service. The sooner I can pull it back out the better, though. It's pretty weak compared to the J10S. That is, after all, why we replaced it after only 3 years. (17 years that pump sat in my garage waiting for its moment to shine! haha) I like the profile pic, by the way. "The Hermit" from "IV". One of the greatest albums of all time.

Excellent....very helpful

I have the same pump mine keeps jamming up and then won’t spin I take the impeller off put it back to together and it works for a while then it jams again what is causing this?

Thanks very much. Is this similar to a stay rite irrigation pump? I bought a home with a lake sprinkler system and it has the Stay Rite but the motor just hums n i think the pump is rusted inside and I need to take it apart. Thank great video.

I hope my old guide vein is not a snap on one. Lol. I may just have to reuse the old one then. I bought a rebuild kit with a newer one with bolts

My motor seems to be frozen. I removed the casing like you said, put a socket on the impellor/motor end, it rotates one direction, I believe counter clockwise but wont move in the other direction. The motor does nothing when I turn it on. Any thoughts? Thanks.

What about the JRS10 goulds pump. I opened mines. it has a seal leak but it has a flat head screw in the center and boy is it hard. Any tips or tricks for that one?

It seems that these J10S pumps have a back pullout design that allows you to rebuild the pump without having to disconnect it from the piping. Have you ever tried that? Thanks in advance

My pump ran out of water and the impeller and the impeller cover melted. I took the cover off and used some light sand paper to try and smooth the the surfaces. But when I put the impeller cover back on it still keeps the motor from turning. Do I definitely need to replace the impeller? And the Impeller Cover? Or can I fix it by sanding? Maybe the heat from running all day permanently warped the impeller?

Do you happen to know the blue color code for these pumps? I need to repaint mine. Thanks.

The guide vain is the plastic piece with the rigid and the impeller is the part on to rotor

Can you not simply drill and tap the holes in an old style motor adaptor to accept the new style guide vane?

I cant get the cover off like u did before the vid

Sir,do you have a video on how to replace the bearings of this pump?

I have a question about Goulds J10S Shallow Well Pump. Is this one OK with running non stop, exp:24hours/a day, during 1 year?

At 1:55, you mixed up the guide vein and impeller :)). Great video though.

GUIDE-VANE ... OLD to NEW ... if you need to UPGRADE from the OLD to the NEW ... SNAP-IN to BOLT-IN ... Couldn't a homeowner MARK & DRILL & TAP the required HOLES ???

6.5 min to explain something that should've taken 2 min max. By the way, the capacitor will not electrocute you, it'll give you a nasty bite but will not come close to killing you unless there's still power going to the pump.
