gotcha ill let you know how things went after next weekend thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!

whats the reason for foot valve no larger than 1" ?

i would run it in to a condensate pump my sears softener just overflowed after 12 years with no issues and that prompted me to finally hookup the overflow to the condensate pump on my furnace since i dont have a floor drain nearby and have to pump it up to a drain the pumps are less than 60...

i think the "hole" and water level are about the same height ill have to check next weekend when i head back up to the cabin if water level is below the leak i shoud be able to use a tailpipe shouldnt i ?

i was thinking of that didnt know if it would work or not but basically the packer jet assembly is above the hole ond footvalve is dropped down to the water if i leave packer jet at 20' and put the other 20' of drop pipe on footvalve it will still pull the water up? i actually bought a...

do they make a 2" submersible pump if they dont they should!

headin up to cabin this weekend are the leathers fairly snug in 2" pipe after soaking them and installing on packer? is there a way to check for leaks/holes in casing other than drop 10' of pipe at a time fill with water and see if it goes down? its a fairly big leak, when priming if you stick...

drop pipe is steel dont think 2' pipe is leaking, water is nice and clean . if pipe was leaking wouldnt water possibly pool around pipe eventually? how long does it take for leathers to fully swell up ?

i replaced the foot valve on my sand point well because it was cycling every five minutes. this was after replacing bad pressure tank this summer and can't seem to get the leathers to seal properly. the well is eleven years old in northern wi. there is alot of iron in the water. is it possible...
