I hooked a water tank to the priming port after trying to prime it maually several times. I thought the tank would help eliminate air but it appeared that the case was pulling so much air that it...

Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I believe I will pull the case and begin again with better materials!

Wellman, are you suggesting that procedure to further develop the well or as a means to get water out of it? The well guy that I had out was able to use a large compressor to blow water out of the...

Thanks for the response. I'm afraid I cannot furnish much of the information you are seeking at this time. I do not know the jet size or manufacture. I bought it from our local pump supply and...

I put the packer in at 15 feet today and dropped the foot valve in 20 feet lower at 35 feet . This made it an additional 15 feet to the water level with 8 feet of water in the pipe (including the...

I will give it a try tomorrow morning and see what happens!

Don't the leathers have to be in the waterline to function? If not, I would certainly be up for givung it a try....

I put one final set of leathers on this afternoon and adjusted the suction lline up about another foot. The well did not seal and I began to raise it and check it at 5 foot increments. The pipe...

I have 36' feet of new case plus the 36" inch sandpoint on the end. I placed the suction line with 35 feet of pipe and the packer jet which should place the seals so that they are still 5 inches...

Thanks for the info. I did try to pressure the well as you suggested earlier and I could fill it but the water dropped immediately when I stopped. The curious thing that I just noticed upon pulling...

Thanks for the info. I have been looking on the net for the part but haven't found it yet...

Thanks so much for taking the time. I also found some domestic pipe yesterday just to see if there was a difference. it measures (as you said earlier in a post) just a hair over the 2 inch mark. ...

Good question. They are installed with the cups open to the well top. (beveled edge pointing up) I bought one more set today for a final try tomorrow. I carefully measured the pipe today and the...

I attempted to fill the case again with water under pressure as was suggested earlier by one of the members -- I was able to fill the pipes but they drained as soon as I stopped.

Does anyone know...

Can you advise me how you tighten it after it is installed???

Thanks

Thanks -- The leathers are the "cup" variety. So far everything I have been able to find shows me the factory made leathers jump from 2" to 2 1/4". Im doubtful the pipe could handle the 2 1/4"...

I'm not sure what is available on the market, but I will begin checking. We have very limited local availability but perhaps there is something on the net.
By the way, my well is situated over an...

Unfortunately I do not have another water source at the site and have only been able to fill it from a tank by gravity. I am open to any suggestions... [QUOTE=LLigetfa;348075]Are you just pouring the...

I carefully measured where I should be a foot above the screen. I did raise it several more feet later to ensure that it wasn't in the screen. Today I measured the inside diameter of the 2 " pipe...

Valveman,

Thanks for the quick reply--it is appreciated! I did try to raise it a foot or two and did not have any better result. Any idea why the leathers would not want to seat against the new...

I just installed a new 2'' well casing via sandpont. The well is 38' deep with eight feet of water in the pipe. I have been trying unsuccessfully to install the suction line and jetpacker. My...
