Buy a Goulds, they have a 5 year warranty vs. the Grundfos 1 year. Also if you use a submersible pump in a tank, make sure you use a shroud to prevent over-heating. Submersible pumps are a lot tougher than jet pumps, and will last much longer. They don't have 20 year guarantees, but they are known to last that long. Today's pumps should last even longer. However, you will also need a large pressure tank (80+ gallons). The reason for that it to lengthen the pump's run time. Doing this will extend the life of your pump and give you constant pressure in your house. I come across used pumps from time to time also, if that is something your interested in.
