Hello,
What a great forum. Just found this. New subscriber here with my first post.
I have an existing well at 400 feet. It currently is hard piped with PVC drop pipe. It is 30 years old. Time to replace all the "guts". I plan to do this myself after a lot of research done, so I know what I am getting myself into.
I plan to use 1" poly pipe that is rated to 200 psi. Locally I can only get 200 and 300 foot lengths at this psi rating.
My questions to the forum:
1. Can I buy quantity (2) rolls of 200 feet poly and connect them together with a stainless steel barbed fitting along with stainless steel hose clamps to make one continuous length of 400 feet?
2. Should I use 250 psi rate poly?
3. Can I do the same with two rolls of 2-wire electrical cable and join them together to make the 400 feet? (Will be using metal crimped connectors and shrink wrap in a kit, just like how I plan to connect the pump leads to the submersible rate electrical cable).
Thanks for the help !!!
