Home well water systems

[bucolic_frolic]

5. So after a weekend of work this is where it's at

no wiring problems. Power does go to the switch, but the pump doesn't run and the switch doesn't switch.
When I separate the contacts on the switch with a screwdriver, they spark.

So I'm pretty sure it's the pump.

The well casing is steel, it flakes a lot, you can hear the flakes falling down into the water. In addition there
is iron/sulphur buildup in the well, and granulated particles come in with the water, the particles are dark brown
iron, and black.

Don't know if the lightning strike had something to do with it, though I do think so.

Get on the phone in the morning and see what some local well people think about it.

Not a fun repair bill!
