I thought I submitted this earlier, but do not see it in the forum, so perhaps I did not hit "submit"; I apologize if it is a redo. I have three questions below and I'd appreciate comments to any of them. Thank you.
I recently had work done on my well and the installer repaired the blue poly tubing. He used a brass fitting (the kind with barbed male ends) and hose clamps. I watched him do it and it seemed like the repair was strong, the clamps just tight enough, so overall, a job well done. My well is 505 feet deep, and the supply line goes down about 350 feet. The repair was made at about 200 feet from the pump (150 from the top of the well).
Afterwards, I got to thinking that this might be a point of failure in the future. If it disconnected, I would have a pump with 200 feet of supply line at the bottom of my well.
1 - How likely is it that the hose disconnects at this point?
2 - Assuming it did, would there be any way to grab the top of the hose (about 300 feet below ground) and pull it up?
3 - If this thing could not be pulled up, is it likely I could insert a new pump in the same well, or would I be looking at needing a new well?
