I have a new 555' well, 300' static, 3 GPM. I have purchased 400' of 1" schedule 80 pipe + also bought a 'pipe elevator' and 'pipe jack' for 1" size pipe.
I have NEVER set a pump before, but read this forum. Do I need and tripod to set the pump? I figure total weight of the 400' pipe, wire, pump to be about 225LBS without water. Will the pipe/pump/wire get lighter once I touch water at 300' or so? I was hoping to install the pump using a makeship "boom" of 3" pipe bolted to the side of my trailer for weight lifting/ holding of the pipe elevator. ANY advice would be most appreciated!
