    Open/uncapped well and contamination?

    Thanks for the responses. To clarify, I have city water for the house and this is for the outdoor faucets. So it's a no-rush project, and I don't have to worry about softener or water heater. I will probably put in new pipe to the new pump, but if I do end up laying the old stuff on the ground...

    Open/uncapped well and contamination?

    I'm going to be replacing the pump in my 160ft well soon. Hopefully without professional help. Since I'm doing this myself, I'm not sure what I'll find when I pull the old one up, and how long it will take. I'm wondering how much I need to worry about contamination during the process while...

    Help pulling well pump

    I called Merrill. That nut should in fact be turned clockwise to raise the rod 3-4 inches, to raise the wedge below. Then the whole unit can be pulled up with a short T pipe pipe screwed into the top. This is going to be challenging, since I broke that support plate. I may be able to order a...

    Help pulling well pump

    Thanks for the reply. So, how is this supposed to work, is the nut supposed to stay put, but turning it raises and lowers the rod and wedge? Does that mean I should have been turning the nut like I was tightening it, so the rod and wedge would be raised, unseating the pitless adapter? Then...

    Well died, where to start?

    As for my problem at hand, if the noise is coming from the control box and it's likely bad, shouldn't I start with replacing that and seeing what happens? Do I need a specific control box if I'm going to change to a csv, or would that work with existing control box? As for the csv, my...

    Well died, where to start?

    Thanks for the reply. I shouldn't say that it was cycling faster than usual, rather it was making the ting...tock............. noise, which I thought at the time was it cycling faster but I don't actually know if it typically made this noise when it cycled on or this is was just an entirely new...

    Well died, where to start?

    My well just stopped working and calling someone out is not in the budget right now. I believe it is a 160' well with a submersible pump. See picture below. I live in Minnesota. I had noticed last week that although it was working normally, it seemed to sound like it was cycling faster...
