    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    My drilled well has turned into a mudfest, we get about one shower before the filters are clogged, so I can't put off the dug well any longer. Today I started the install of a jet pump in the garage. I'm just going to run the line over the floor and into the manhole cover for now, I'll worry...

    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    Well at this point I've ruled out everything I have access to, so unfortunately it appears to be either a failed buried pipe or (buried) injector. Sorry for not posting pictures. I tried a shallow well injector, that was significantly worse, I couldn't get pressure. We got the pipe and...

    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    My son climbed into the well on Saturday, but was unable to disconnect any of the piping, so if we're going to put a check valve in the well, it will require cutting off the pipe and reattaching with a compression fitting or SharkBite. Before I do that, I'm going to attempt the conversion to a...

    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    If I do a submersible, it will be a whole new install tied into the garage water (which I can feed back to the house). I'm not going to screw with buried mystery piping involving a missing injector. I've already done the house check as you describe, no leak there. To convert to single hose, I...

    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    Getting the pipe up out of the well could be, um, interesting. I do know people with wetsuits fortunately. One other thought is to try to convert to shallow well single pipe so that I could put the check valve in the basement and avoid getting into the well. I would close off the send pipe to...

    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    The injector is not at the pump. It's setup for a deep well two line injector, there are two lines leaving the pump and separately exiting my basement wall.

    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    The mystery is where the injector is. If it's buried outside the well, which it must be, and the check valve is installed there as you might expect, I can't get at the check valve. The best I can do is add another check valve to the pickup pipe in the well.

    Weird jet pump install, losing pressure

    I live in an old house with an old dug, stone-lined well that looks to be maybe 15' deep. This well was setup with a FloTec 4322 when we bought the place. I'm having trouble with the pump slowly losing pressure - the pump kicks on every ~30 minutes, and I've ruled out a house leak. The pump...
