    Question on putting bleach in shallow well/systren

    Thanks for the info and that link. will study it as i did not think it was as easy as dumping clorx down there like the guy who sold me the place said.....as far as keeping them out its not easy. they can climb through the rock walls in the side of the well. not sure what to do there.

    Removing broken plastic injector from shallow well pump

    Believe me I dont want to continue but this is a new pump really 5 years is not much on a jacuzzi. Kind of hard to find someone to work on this located where I am. Appreciate the reply and the internal pipe wrench is a good idea. I have found new venturi so I am on the mend hopefully.

    Well pump not shutting off or getting up to cut off pressure

    Hi Don thanks for the reply. Have lived here over 25 years and been dealing with this since we moved in. The pump seems to be able to pull/draw water fine so I think the distance is OK, the "well" is a shallow one, about 25 foot deep and yes it has plenty of water, about 5 feet from the top so...
