replaced pump that keeps eating the seals ( washed out head) with a brand new out of the box pump, this pump is really noisy compared to last pump, probably twice as loud. has anyone had this before?

Looking at the picture your Generant regulator looks like it needs to be serviced or rebuilt.
Here's a link to the rebuild kit. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-32...-capacity-pressure-regulator.aspx#description
I can almost guarantee that the valve stem is eroded to the point that it's bent. When this happens the pump is starving for water. You should also turn the regulator 45 deg. so the "T" handle is on top.
