I have a 2" well I'm not sure of the depth. when the motor burned up on the pump and i went to replace it, I dropped the 1" line into the well!! While trying to retreive it I was able to get another pvc pipe glued to the original but I can't pull it back out it's stuck in the bottom of the well (it fell about 19' to the bottom) I think the foot valve must be catching on the bottom of the 2" well casing. I've been trying to hook it up where it is but haven't been able to prime it yet the foot valve is holding water and, something I don't understand, the 2" well casing is holding water to the top and equalizing to the same hieghth as the inner pipe, is that right? anyway any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. if I get it primed as is with the foot valve at the bottom of the well is it going to work that way or will it tear something up? When I was rigging to connect to the dropped pipe, I ended up using some 3/4" cpvc and at the top some 1/2" cpvc. I didn't think it would matter since I was going to pull the original ppipe out anyway (or back up to it's original position) but since the pipe is stuck and I mean stuck I'm stuck with a 1/2" cpvc pipe coming from the very bottom of my well. I tryed twisting bobbing jiggling and all that stuff but it would not come loose. It will move up and down about 4". It will not prime like it is I've been trying for 2 days to prime it.
