My family has a vacation home on the bay side of a small island off the coast of Texas. The house has a water well and uses an electric pump housed in a pump house underneath the structure, which is up on stilts. The house is infrequently used and with the seaside conditions the pump has corroded and will not start automatically. What do I need to do to clean it up so it will function? I do not believe that the motor is damaged.

the problem with the pump not running will be the motor only…..most likely the motor rotor has rusted to the winding core of the motor ….soak it down with wd40 on the inside …should be vent holes to spray wd40 in…try to find some way to turn rotor ….on some pumps there is a screwdriver slot on the end of the motor…if it still wont run take it to shop
