Hello.
I have a well that quit working many years ago during a severe drought. I suspect it should be operational again, but I haven't been successful with the simple prime it and run it approach. It is a submerged jet deep well. You can click this link for an imediate view of it http://www.black-hole.com/users/ericpaulsen/pump and to see the way it is hooked up.
Before I go any further, I would like to determine that there is water available. If I take the assembly on the top of the casing pipe apart can I drop a line with a weight on it down to check, or how do I go about it? I hope I don't have to go through all the set up and work of pulling the jet assembly/foot valve just to check if water is there at all.
Thanks!
