I have 160 foot deep well that has a problematic pump. I am in the process off pulling the pump and have found that is has 20 foot sections of 1 1/2 inch straight PVC pipe connected together with metal pipe couplings. After exposing the first section of pipe I tried to take the pipes apart at the metal connections but the connection will not come apart. At this point I am at a standstill. I would like to salvage the pipe as there is nothing wrong with it. Is there a problem with cutting the pipe approx 12 inches above the metal joint and then when I put the new pump down the hole I would just use plastic couplings to join the pipes together where I made the cuts. I would just leave the metal connectors on the pipe.
I guess in summary.. Is it Ok to use PVC connectors on deep well pumps?
