Hello all, I have decided to embark on replacing my well foot valve. Ever since I have bought the house If I lose power I lose the prime on my pump I usually just hook up to the neighbors house and refill my whole house system to reprime my pump, as I have tried the pour water in the pump but can never get it to prime. I had a well guy out and he said it is either the foot valve or hole in the pipe. the quote he gave me was $500 to $5000 depending on what it was. I'm going to replace the foot valve myself and if that is not it may go the replace the well route. Well is a single line Jet pump of unknown depth the well casing is 4" metal. I started last night to pull the cap off and the whole pipe started spinning. I ended up digging down to expose the T I unscrewed the pipe and this is what I found. Does anyone know how to get this out. I'm assuming screw a 1" black pipe t handle into it and just pull it up? But it may be threaded or something. I would like some direction prior to just winging it. I have attached 2 pictures of what I found when I dug down. The water around came out of the upper pipe when I unscrewed it was dry when I first dug down.
