    pressure problem

    I'm posting this for my neighbor. Hopefully someone can help him out. He has a 1 1/2 HP deep well jet pump. Never has a problem with well running low. The problem started out as pump would not shut off. Pump was building extremely high pressure. He had to shut the breaker off to get the pump...

    Repair charges?

    Mark, About 20 miles west of Indianapolis. And I agree it was a lot cheaper than a new well. I've dealt with all kinds of knowledgable well equipped contractors, just never a well contractor. So I didn't know if there rates were comparable to other well contractors or not. Guess I broke the...

    Repair charges?

    Just wondered if the charge was consistent with the work performed. ( In Indiana ). It was just a question, not a complaint.

    Repair charges?

    Jet stuck in well

    Well I guess they knew what they were doing. I gave the pipe a couple of good tugs after the acid had sit for a day and everything came right up, a lot easier than I had suspected. Also found the problem. The 1" line had a split in it about 10 feet from the jet and the the jet had a hole in the...

    Jet stuck in well

    Thanks Gary. I know very little about wells. All I know about mine, is that it's a shallow well with a 4 inch well casing that the jet and foot valve go down into. I don't know how far down the casing goes. If the jet is seized to the casing, it looks to me like they could run a rod or steel...

    Jet stuck in well

    Thanks for your reply. I don't know why they would wait either, other than the fact that is was friday afternoon when they did it. They told me I could see if it had broken free the next day. I guess one of my questions is. Is the acid diluted enough that it's to use the water when the well is...

    Jet stuck in well

    I have a shallow well with a 2 pipe jet pump. Short story, bad foot valve. Tried pulling the pipes out of the well but they wouldn't pull out, evidently the jet is stuck to the casing down in the well. Had to call a well drilling company. Thay came out and poured about 5 gallon of muriatic acid...
