Hello, I have been preparing to work on my water system in which the jet pump has started making squealing noises regularly (bad bearing?). I've been wanting to re plumb some of this anyway and so I'm fixing some other stuff along the way too. A proper mount for the pump will be made and new 1" copper from the pump to the holding tank with valves and unions ect. for maintenance and repair later on.
I noticed the well seal looks like its been there forever, although the plastic pipe looks newer? Looks like a 2 piece well seal, wouldn't a 1 piece be easy enough to slide down over the drive and suction pipes after taking off the 90 deg elbows, why the reason for the 2 piece? Should I leave the well seal alone for now like I was planning? Maybe put some sealant around the pipes. If at a later time the foot valve or something else needs fixed then deal with it then? I'm not sure how the pipes will come out of the well since it is under the side porch, how much flex is there in the plastic?
