Mine failed a few years ago because a bad connection on the main feed sent 220 v into everything that got turned on, lights, pump, etc. A guest tracked that down; we bailed the cistern into every bucket and wastebasket available. Replaced the pump, and poured the buckets back into the system. This was on a Saturday. The guests were already there, so no time to call a service company.
These pumps last a long, long time, so determining reason for failure before replacing could be important.
