I just installed a new 2'' well casing via sandpont. The well is 38' deep with eight feet of water in the pipe. I have been trying unsuccessfully to install the suction line and jetpacker. My problem is that the leathers do not appear to be sealing against the new case. I've put two sets in and when I attempt to fill the pipes with water in preparation to prime the pump, all the water seems to pass by the leathers. I did soak the leathers each time for several hours in warm water--to no avail. I also raised and lowered the suction line in an effort to seal them--same result. Is there anything else I can try? Also, I replaced thefoot valve and double checked it to ensure that was not the culprit...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
