Nearly Finished Well



We put in a European made pump that was rated to 30 feet. We then put the pump down in the well. Being inside the well made it very quiet but we quickly learned that if we lost suction it was difficult to service. We were also concerned about rust. The plastic pipe had problems holding so much water and would crack the glue joint causing loss of suction. So we bought an American made jet pump and put in galvanized piping. Since then we have not had any loss of suction. Even if we have such a loss the pump is outside the well and easily serviced.
