Got old 1/2 HP Submersible pump pulled today, 6/26/10. 'Want' to attach
a flow inducer prior to running new pump back in hole, both for longer
life for the pump, but also to reduce producing/getting sand from my
80' water well. I find diagrams of the Flow Inducer Sleeve, but newbie
that I am, I don't know what exact size bolt size, length, lock washers,
etc to do it right. Here are my particulars:
82' Total Depth water well, original pump set at 79'. 5" PVC
Casing. I'm using schedule 40 1" PVC for my drop pipe. I've
got the thin walled 4" DWV pipe cut already into a 3' section to
shroud my new pump in, but the fine details about exact bolt
size, lock washers etc is an unknown to me, and I don't want to
add the Flow inducer sleeve, unless I know I'm doing it right.
I've got my new string of 80' 1" PVC layed out, glued and ready
to go. Intend to stack a Brass ck valve just above the new pump's
discharge, hopefully as a back up to the factory installed ck valve,
on my new Sta-Rite J series S/mersible pump. The last Sta-Rite
I put in their (with help) is/was nine yrs old, it's bearings are frozen
up, either from a nearby lightning strike, or, from I don't know
what.
Instructions, or directions to where to find the gory details on the
Sleeve is my panic button of the day issue.
Thanks,
John
