Thanks to all for help and support on my well questions - I need one more bit of advice. As stated in an earlier post, I have a 2” well casing with a 2-pipe jet pump adapter that was buried about 5’ deep and 10’ away from the house. The well is about 30’ deep. I want to replace the old...

Hello again - could you provide more detail on "Special adapters"? Are they something readily available at Menard's or Home Depot? Thanks again for your advice - much appreciated

Thanks to all for help and support on my well questions - I need one more bit of advice. I have decided to go with the 1" schedule 80 pipe and special adapters; this seems like it will be the easiest to work with in the cold weather. My problem (or question) is that I intend to place the new...

Makes sense - Thank you!

Hello again Craigpump, Sorry for the dumb question concerning using brass or stainless fittings - not awake yet. Why schedule 40 fittings? Smaller diameter to get into the 2" well? Thanks again

Good morning Texas Wellman; thanks for the follow-up. I didn't actually unscrew it, I was working on trying to pull the whole assembly up and tapped the side of the casing adapter with a small hammer to break it loose, the adapter came off the pipe rather easily - the pipe must have been just...

Thanks for the info Reach4. No, I don't really want to restore the old system, just not sure I can afford to have everything replaced at this time.

Thanks for the info, will there be a foot valve at the end of the pipe? Any idea where I would purchase the new casing adapter?

Hello out there, I recently purchased an older home to renovate. The water system was not working. We located the well head about 10 feet out from the house and about 5 feet deep. The item in the photo was bolted to a three bolt flange on the 2" well casing - there is a single galvanized pipe...
