Casing adapter, What is this part?

[Jasondelane]

The two black line go to the pump. The green thing is on top of the well casing. Casing is only 2 or 3 inches.

There is a pic.

Yours is the single pipe system under the Deep Well heading. According to the diagram it is a casing adapter.

Thank you, that helps a lot. Why do I get the feeling that this thing isn't exactly just gonna slide out of there.

That looks like a pain in the arse

It really does.

That is the two pipe "jet". Normally it would inside the casing to get to deeper water, but since it is on top of the well, you must have a shallow well. You could install a single pipe pump if this one goes bad.

It is possible that the water is less than 25 feet deep but I wouldn’t count on it.

A regular suction type pump can only lift water 25 foot. For water that is deeper than 25 feet you need a jet pump or a submersible pump etc. This type of single pipe packer ejector is normally used when the water is deeper than 25 foot but not much deeper than 200 foot depending on the model.

For a deep well with a small diameter well casing of less than 4 inches a single pipe packer ejector can be used. The well casing is utilized as the down pipe. A packer is used to separate the water in the upper part of the casing/drive pipe and the suction pipe. Below the packer is the section of suction pipe where incoming water from the well enters. A foot valve may be used at the end of the suction pipe or there is a check valve built into the packer.

Nice video. If the hose barbs were SS or brass, and coated with an anti corrosive, there might be a chance for easy renewal. This part is history. might want to bring in the rig and drill a real well if the conditions and wallet justify.

Thanks, this helps. I'm a novice, but I like to figure things out and learn. So, can I get what I need at Lowe's, etc., or have to go online?

That is a casing adapter for a two pipe deep well jet pump. It needs to match the pump, so you will need to get one from someone who sells that brand pump.
