This is probably a dumb one but does the well seal play any other part other than keeping debris from the well. Just had a buddy tell a shallow well will not hold prime without a complete seal.
Also, my well has a 1 1/4 drop and the well itself barely fits the couplings for the 1 1/4 drop pipe so Im assuming its around 1 1/2 ID. I can lift the drop pipe right out of the well so I am assuming the seal isn't on correctly. This particular seal goes around the outside of the well pipe instead of inside it and has tightening bolts which squeeze a gasket. I cant free the bolts so Im guessing i need to get a new seal. Is there a better type or anyone know where i can order one like the one I have online?
thanks
