    How to install a well pump with manual equipment

    Thank you for your comments. Yes, the PVC was a major problem -- flexing and too lightweight. Because of the friction created by the seals, pumping would lift and flex the PVC drop pipe. The PVC would still rise and fall with a tightened well seal. I eventually had to strap it down. I still...

    Safety rope was used with the pvc and used with the newer pipe. The torque arrestors are used just to keep the brass cylinder from slapping around and laying against the inside of the well casing wall.

    No overkill if you can do it by yourself safely and efficiently.

    Oh, I agree, it would be good for irrigation, or watering animals. That's a good point about it being an efficient use of human shape and strength. Never thought about it that way. Thanks for the positive comment.
