With the tank and pump drained i ment. And i only have one tube. i think only deep well jet pumps need that venturi line. I had to drain everything when the plug blew so i know what to do there. the pump takes a gallon or so. But im just worried if i clean up the pipes when i pop that check...

Im also curiouse.. if i redo the suction line is water going to gush out of it if i take it all apart?

Thats cool! I might do that when i overhaul my system. I gotta peak down the well first. Im curiouse how deep it is and how much water is actualy in it. I always have this fear im going to run out..

I haven't seen the inside of my well but it is very large in diameter. it has a roof over it.. I thought a submersible had to be in an artesian well

Thanks for the info. Wow 30 years for that pump huh? Looks like I should be getting another Gould (I was looking at Wayne). so what about a CSV setup? Can I get more info on that? Would I need a stronger pump with a smaller tank? Like i said i read a lot of the page I just want some one to dumb...

Hey thanks for the reply. Yes there is only one pipe coming from the well (see pic). as for use I would say its pretty normal use. My heavy hitters would be the shower/tub and the washer. I do wash my truck once a week. but other than that its typical. The filter was there, I have changed it...

So I was googling and came across this site and did some poking around and discovered a few things and I have many questions. let me explain my setup and situation before I ask.. I have a shallow well with a Goulds Jplus 1/2hp jet pump connected to a 20 gallon well x trol tank set at 30/50. the...
