My 1.5 Hp sub pump is hanging on 370 feet of 1.25" galvanized pipe. It will need replacing soon, and I am interested in installing the new pump with polyethylene roll pipe and a stainless cable so that I could possibly remove it myself with a winch instead of having to employ the two guys and a crane. Has anyone done such a deep well that way, or does it really have to be rigid, threaded pipe? I could go to a smaller pump (I have 12,000 gallons of storage) and 1" pipe, I suppose, to reduce the weight. I am assuming the weight would be born by the cable, maybe 3/16"... Thanks for any replies.
