I have a deep well 120ft. I replaced the jet well pump because the old one burnt out(wouldn't restart).
The new one wouldn't prime. Discovered that the leak wasn't the bathroom toilet running all day.
Instead I opened the 4 foot wide hole with the Well casing inside and found the injection pipe had rusted through very close to the casing.
I can't find anything online that describes how the PVC coming from the house connects to the 90 degree part that is apparently welded to the casing and goes down the well hole.
I don't fit in the hole to work on the pipes and my wife has to work on taking the connections apart.
There appears to be 2 different size nuts at the well casing, but they almost look welded together. Hard to see 5 feet down in the 4 foot hole.
The Casing pipe is about 8 inches in diameter.
I'm hoping someone can point me to the name of these parts so when I go to the plumbing supply store I don't look like a complete idiot.
Thanks Dan
