I have a old well that feeds my house.
it has a 8''ID steel casing that is rusty and more like a egg shell than steel.
I assume i need pull up my jet valve, get 6'' PVC pipe glue as i drop it down to the bottom
of the well, fill around the outside with pee gravel and reinstall my jet valve,is this correct ?
do i make holes from the top of the water line to the bottom? do i seal the bottom end of the pipe?
how far up from the bottom of the well should my jet be? i have sandy soil.
thanks in advance for the help.
my system needs a complete overhaul but first things first,every time i touch the well i can hear case flakes falling into the well,need to secure the hole first.[is that a bar joke?]
thanks again john
