    Bad news concerning my well

    I've posted a couple threads about my 2" well. I decided to have a guy with a truck pull the drop pipe. The casing appears to be 96' and the static water is at 11' from the surface. There was only one stick of galvanized pipe with the jet at the bottom with a check valve. The well guy and I...

    Vertical adapter bolts

    Wondering what to do about the bolts on my adapter. One is fine, one looks like it was replaced with a longer bolt and nut and one appears to be broken off in the adapter.

    2" Jet Pump - worth the time?

    I've purchased a piece of property with a 2" jet pump casing. I'm hoping to put a shop on the property and would like to have a bathroom and water for occasional irrigation. Is it worth putting a pump on the casing? I'm getting mixed opinions if it is worth even trying to hook a pump up to it.

    Difference between a single stage and multi-stage pump?

    Looking at pumps and trying to decide between a single stage and multi-stage pump. I know the physical difference, but practically speaking is there preference? Is one more reliable than the other and is the additional cost worth it for the multi-stage?

    Can someone identfy this casing adapter?

    I recently purchased a piece of property that has a well casing and some type of adapter mounted on the casing. The casing is 2". I'm a little familiar with submersible pumps but not much experience with above ground pumps. Is this a jet pump and is there a way to test if the casing is good? Is...
