Under $750 widens the choice to more capable submersibles and stronger jet pumps, with more horsepower and often stainless steel parts. That is enough for typical household use on moderately deep wells, and some pumps here are quiet and well built.
Match the pump’s head and flow to your well depth and household demand, and check that the casing diameter fits. Look at the housing material, whether the motor is 2-wire or needs a separate control box, and the warranty length. Since replacing a submersible means pulling it from the well, a more durable pump can be worth paying more for.
