I recently was asked to help an old friend with his well. It is a 2" driven point with a 3/4 jet on the surface. We pulled the guts and found what appeared to be a packer assembly that fit down the 2" pipe. It was set down to 16' the water table is at 14' this appears to be a deep well jet assembly with foot valve. I wish I could find out how these work I understand a venturi but if someone knows of an illistration somewhere that would be great.. Any way the well is 30' deep should we put on a tail pipe to maybe 25' or just lower the foot valve to that depth? He was getting very little water. How did the pump even keep it's prime? What kind of gpm should this pump deliver @ lets say @ 30psi ? Or is this to much pump for this application? Thanks anyone!
