Dave,
i would go with the J5. When you fill the pipes with water close the regulator on the discharge of the pump all the way.If you dont have a regulator you need to get one. You need a minimum of 30 psi back pressure on that jet assembly.You could temporarily use a ball valve off the discharge. Just make sure the ball valve is coming off a tee on the discharge of the pump so you can place a gauge on the top of the tee. In your jet assembly the nozzle should be an A017 and the venturi a AD726. The pressure should come up to like 70 psi. From there start opening the regulator until you have a decent flow of water.

Just put the 3/4hp in and don't worry about fine tuning your screen. It's going to plug up someday anyway so don't worry about that. Worry about getting it working the way you want it to work.

Speed,
I was running a 3/4 hp before and had pump surging problems. replacing it with a 3/4 hp again will cause the same problems, won't it? Besides, wouldn't the pump last longer running without surging. Can you P.M. me a price for the FP2-31 packer?

If the well isn't keeping up with the pump, you can just valve it down to where it keeps up.

The 2" packer is $63.00 plus shipping.

Dave,
dont you already have a packer setup?? If you do then just change out the tube and nozzle in it. I'm a little lost with having to buy a whole new assembly.

I agree with that. Sammy might have the nozzle and venturi you need. I don't have anything for a Goulds.

Did you ever solve your problem? Mine is similar if not the same. I just have not been able to get deep enough yet to see how much water I really have down there.
