We are making an attempt to change the foot falve for our jet pump and we have everything dug up but can not pull the pipe. We attached a chain and are using an engine hoist rated at 5000 lbs to pull the pipe but its not coming up - any advice???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot to mention that it feels quite loose - we can turn the top fitting and inner pipe a full 180 - we just cant pull the darn pipe up.... could the valve at the bottom be stuck or bent? is there a seperate fitting somewhere thats preventing it from coming up?
I life in Fl and my neighbors across the street just did this - they said their foot valve was about 30ft down...
