Much easier to change the well pump to 120 V pump and quit worrying about having to have 220 V just to run one item. When I built my house in Erie I needed a pump ASAP and they only had 120 V in stock at the time so I went with the 120 V.

I lived in that house for 10 years and had no problem using the 120 V pump. Granted I might have lost a small bit of efficiency at the meter box, but the guy that sold it to me told me the only difference was the motor on the 120 V was a little bit different and they sold 120 V pumps all the time, he said no difference in the longevity of the 120 V vs the 220 V.

One other point with 120 V is, if the power run is less than 100 ft you can use the standard wiring. If your power run is more than 100 ft you may have to upsize the wiring size due to increased amperage draw. Starting current is 1000 watts for 1/4 second from what I could find. Other than that it's pretty straight forward.
