Around August of this year pump (1HP - JP 16-10-187 1-Stage Shallow Well Jet Pump) started losing its prime, cavitating, and not being able to draw enough water to feed six sprinkler heads. We have had this system for over 10 years, and this hasn't happened before, so I started looking for a well. Found the well and replaced the check valve, but the issue only worsened. The well had a PVC cap on it so I cut it off.
Water is at 9ft. down, and the well is 30ft deep.
There is some sort of a concrete seal around it. I busted some of it off but it goes deeper than I expected. So back to the questions:
1. What type of well is it, and is there another larger casing?
2. Should I be thinking convertible jet pump or something else?
Thanks in advance.
