Hello fellas, newbie homeowner here with an odd issue. I am in need of a well seal for a 2 line jet pump set up, standard 1&1/4 and 1 inch drops....simple enough right? Well, my casing is 5 inch??????? Has a 5 inch id, 5.5 inch od, schedule 40 pvc well casing is wrote on the side of the pipe. 5 inch? I cant even find 5 inch pipe let alone a well seal for it, plenty of 4 and 6 inch seals everywhere, but I cannot for the life of me locate a 5in seal at all.
Was 5 in pipe typical in years past or what? Unfortunately this well is not documented on my states records, so I have no info on it other than my own personal depth measurements and such. well is 65 ft deep with water at 39 ft. But 5 inch pipe?
And to make matters worse, the house that uses this well is 560 ft away up hill, 30ft of grade, the well is a 1/2 horse 2 line jet pump, that also has another 1/2 horse booster pump inline near the home, has a pressure tank next to each pump. Never really had any issues believe it or not, but the main pump just burnt up a bearing, so im in the process of replacing the pump, and I want to do a well seal also while its down because the current one is in pretty bad shape, like really bad shape. But this 5 inch pipe has me stumped! Any info is very much appreciated.
P.S. thanks for having me, forum seems to be full of a wealth of knowledge, I look forward to BSing around in here!
