Hello Pros,
I am new at posting on this forums, But I have been reading so very cool stuff here.
First off I want to thank Terry Love.
My problem is that I have a 2 inch well in Houston, It is 2 inch PVC Well Casing and a 1.25 inch PVC drop tube. The casing is 40 feet, the drop pipe is 30 feet and the static water level is about 20 feet this time of year.
My pump was not making pressure so I pulled the drop pipe to take a look at the Packer/Jet.
The problem is that the Jet assembly was cast iron and our water here ate it up, and it is stuck in the casing.
My question is; Can I just cut off 1 foot of my drop pipe so my new Brass Packer will be above the top of the old stuck one , and just leave the old one in the well casing.
The Venturi did come up in the bottom of my drop pipe but the foot valve and Jet assemble is still in my casing and will not budge. Leathers must have it stuck.
How do you guys deal with a problem like this ?
I was just going to leave the old one there, It seams to be letting water past, But I wanted another opinion.
Thank You.
