From time to time I pull and repair residential wells and pumps.
I have just slowly as quick as I can pulled 650'+ of 2" schedule 40 pipe to get to our Franklin Electric 6" High Capacity Pump
Model-50FA10S6PE
What happened was we were inspecting the motor and took the sealed cap off the end of the motor. This sealed cap contains a shaft stabizer. It also contains a lubricant of some kind, I think it's a water base lubricant, but it could be I guess mineral oil, IDK. This lubricant is circulated through the center of the motor. When we popped the end off it spilled out, really wasn't much though. It felt just a slight lubricity and the next day I dragged my finger across the shop floor where is spilt and you couldn't feel anything, it just seemed to evaporate.
Now I'm not looking to guess and dump any old lubricant in. I'm hoping someone on here may know what to use and how much if possible. Don't ask me to call Franklin, already did and they're sworn to secrecy. Even when I buy their pumps and parts from time to time, swindlers.
