Notes

A sprinkler pump moves a lot of water and is sensitive to dry-running, debris, and seal wear. Repair is often justified for capacitors, seals, or priming-related issues when the motor is otherwise healthy.

Replace is typically better when the motor windings fail, bearings are noisy with vibration, or the pump repeatedly loses prime-since recurring performance problems can signal internal wear that becomes costly.
