Well , I went to Lowes and got the tee valve and adapter to prime. Instead I rear ended someone in the parking lot. My day went from bad to worse. There was plenty of water, so I called the well guys. They pulled up the well and there was a tiny screw head stuck in the venturi of the foot...

Well, I broke down and called the experts, had to pull up the well, there was a tiny screw head stuck on the venturi valve. Clogged it shut. Thanks for all the input. I have water again. Yeee haw.

OK, Can you tell me where the prime plug is. I have a Goulds j7 pump deep well, two pipes,1 1/4" on top and 1 " on bottom. I see two hex nuts in back. one near top center. The other bottom left, and a little bigger. I am going to try the one near the top, since this is where I...

Striking Gold OK, I dug down about 3- 4 feet. Found the two pipes coming out of the stack. The top pipe had a plastic fitting with a tiny crack in it causing the leak. I replaced it, but I can't get the pressure to come up now with the pump. I thought I primed it properly. I tried to...

Could the cause of the flow be caused by a bad check valve? How would I check this?

I dug out a fair amount, haven't unearthed the cap yet, but I have two holes filled with water. I will continue when I get off work today, but it is supposed to rain tomorrow. Still digging

I live in Connecticut, it is 67 degrees out now but will probably be below freezing tonight, lol. I haven't found the pipes yet, still digging. Took out two holly bushes though. And I am pretty certain it is a deep well. 80 to 200 feet?

ok, I'm digging. the cap I am refering to is a pipe, steel i think because it is rusted, six and half inches in diameter and sticks above the ground about three feet. It is about two feet behind a stone wall, which i am dismantling, which is about two feet high. So far I dug eleven...

Well I suppose I do have a leak, I have noticed that the pump goes on without any water usage on a regular basis. Also what I thought was ground seepage, is not. There has been no rain for an extended period of time and the leak by the well is increasing. I plan on digging up the area...

Does this mean digging up the ground? This could be problamatic. LOL Question: I have good pressure and flow. I have a deep well jet pump. Could the pipe that shoots water down the well to force the water up have a crack in it. Would this cause water to flow out?

I have a deep well with a jet pump. Recently there has been a slow steady trickle of water coming from where the well cap is. What could be the cause of this problem? Lately, when the power for my street has gone out I find that I lose my prime and have to restore pressure and water to my...

well pump OK, I have a new gauge that I am going to replace, What would be the best way to replace this? The fuse box is only two feet away. So I can easily shut the power off. Do I need to shut the water supply off to keep back pressure in the lines? Also, my main concern is a steady...

Twice recently after losing power for a period of time I have lost the prime to my pump. I have a deep well pump, Goulds Jet pump that I have replaced myself. The first time I reprimed the pump It changed from 20-40 psi cut in and off to 30-50. Now it is 40-60. Should I reset this and how do...
