Hi guys,
Who makes the BEST foot valve. My well is 80 feet deep with clear water.
Thanks in advance,
Andy R

The ones I have been using work fine for awhile and then after a few months the water leaks past them and I have to manually prime the pump to get it going.

Are you pumping some sand or other debris? Is the pump cycling on and off a lot? What king of foot valve have you been using?

It's a manual system I put together. I have been getting the foot valves at the local hardware store. I am not pumping sand or debris. I think if I get a good one my problem will be solved. I am using a 1 1/4" PVC pipe for a suction pipe. Which foot valve do you recommend?

Like TW said, Simmons or Flomatic.
