Posted almost a year ago, and finally getting someone out to attempt pulling the 3.75" submersible pump in our 4" well. The question is, if they are able to pull the pump*, whether to replace with a smaller submersible or above ground. Based on the water level we could do either. The water has high sulfur and a some iron. While I realize the submersible has definite advantages, my concern is we'll be facing the same problem down the line again. Would it make more sense to stick with the above ground? The price difference is about $350.
If we have to drill another well, we'll be drilling a 5" this time, and same question. Should we go with the small submersible?
*Well guy says it's likely clogged by the sulfur, as it's still operational, just low flow for over 2 years now. Drop pipe is PVC, which will be unscrewed and replaced with galvanized if possible so they can dislodge it and remove it from the well.
Appreciate the help and advice from this forum, as always.
