If I were to hook up a one pipe jet pump to the 1inch pipe from the pitless to the basement would the pump be able to pull water up from 300 feet where the submersible pump is? There is a check valve at the submersible pump Are you thinking that the 295 foot level that the water in the 6 inch...

Would the two pipe deep well pump fit in the 6inch casing along with the pitless and the 1inch poly pipe? What goes at the end of the two pipes to get water up to the pump? Does a jet pump need a lot of water to prime? Over 5 gallons? Thanks

Now that most supply lines to sinks and toilets are of the pre made stainless steel covered vinyl tube inside what’s the lifespan before they need to be replaced? Manufacturers say when they leak!! I’m on a well with max pressure of 65 psi no leaks but should I change them say 10 years of...
