I do not know, it is for a 4" well.

While I am waiting on well driller to show. I was asked today if I wanted SS impellers? Finding limited info I thought I would ask the pros here. For a well in NW Florida around 500' deep what type impellers should I want or need. I was offered a Grudfus pump. Someone give me some pros/cons and...

I do have H2S but has not been bad with the galvanized tank. Since I haven't received much on the steel casing I think I will go with PVC. So should I go with a 3 wire pump an the glass lined tank or the bladder tank. I am getting down to the wire her need well now but they can't get to me yet...

I am about 50 miles East of Pensacola. What I've read online they say steel last about 50 years and PVC for ever if no lightning strike. I don't really have anyone else to ask we have basically 2 drillers in area. On the H2S that is good info. How about if the galvanized tank is glass lined...

What are the pros/cons of using 4" Steel well casing over 4" SCH 40 PVC? Cost is about $3400 more for Steel 575' well. This equals a very expensive well.

No I do not have steel casing now I have 4" PVC. Thinking about going with steel. It is the homes water source. Yes 575' well casing and yes lightning took out casing and most of items in house including a hole in the wall. This is NW Florida all wells around here for drinking average 4-600'...

Lightning took out my well so have to have new Deep well with submersible drilled, I am trying to decide what I want and is best to have. I believe I want a 3 wire 1 1/2 hp SS Franklin with galvanized tank with control box. Is there a reason I should not go with this setup and go 2 wire? Or...

What is the cost to replace a 1.5 hp pump I was told when well installed: Pump is 275' down and well is 575' deep. I am trying to plan for when the time happens it is 12 years old and is a Red Jacket pump. I am in NW Florida. Is it possible to do yourself or is major equipment required. I know...

Relay went bad Part# 155031110 and could not locate locally everyplace said obsolete and no replacement said I must have old well. Was installed in 2002, finally a service guy was at b-b sales only and he gave me one but I now want a replacement and I have found a few on line around $50. What is...

Thanks for the info on securing the wire, I needed that. I was looking for ideals on best ways to proceed. I might farm some of it out and do some. I thought about having the insulation sucked out of the attic and replaced afterwards. I think I will do more fishing and less cutting. I appreciate...

Have a 05 house on slab all the wiring was cut & removed from the attic cut off at the top plate. Looking for ideals on best way to replace. Think I will start with the AC.

What is cost estimate? PVC

I pulled the pump, direct mount. I dropped string in pipe, went down 75' no water at all in pipe, string/nut was dry. I broke the flange loose from well casing was tough and all but I can't pull the pipe out of the casing, only up about 1" from casing or so but it is clear of casing. Guess it is...

I poured 22 gallons in it today where the gauge is, isolated from tank and house, nothing. What about the vertical ver horizontal? I hope it is just the foot valve. Thanks TW.

What determines the use of a vertical or horizontal well pump? If you have a vertical, how do you convert to a horizontal? I just purchased a house with a well and the well pump (vertical) runs but no water. Tried priming nothing, going to pull line to check foot valve b4 disassembling pump it...
