Hello everyone. This is my first post. Been reading in your forum off and on for several months. Seems like a lot of smart folks here. When it comes to this stuff, I'm not one of them!
I've got a well drilled and I'm designing how the pump and stuff goes in (see pic). My pump will be a bout 10' off the bottom of the well and I want it to be shrouded for cooling (exactly how to make the shroud is another question). My question is about torque arrestors. Not really sure how they work. If the torque arrestor is pressed up against the side of the casing, how does water get down below it to the pump? If it's not pressed up against the well casing, how does it stop the pump from "torquing"? I don't want my pump to overheat or not get enough water.
I'm also wondering.... If I use a 1/8" stainless steel safety cable, can I lift and lower the pump/drop pipe using the safety cable? Spool it up on a trailer winch? Or maybe some sort of frame with a pulley so that I can pull the cable with my tractor in very low granny gear? Am I asking for trouble here?
Any comments on my drawing are welcome!
Thanks!
