Not sure what is going on here. Pump stoped pumping so I thought I would replace it. Pulled up old pump and put new pump down with black poly pipe rather than very heavy galvanized pipe. old pump was set at 146 feet so I thought I would set the new pump at 175 feet but it stops at 150. I pulled everything back up and measured the total depth of the well and the water level. The well is 238 feet deep. The water level is at 153 feet so I figure thats why it quit pumping. Its 3 feet from the water level. So I thought try a 3 inch pump... The 3 inch pump also stops at 150.
Here is my question: Is there a tool I can send down to clear the passage to the bottom or near the bottom of the well?
It has a 4 inch PVC casing but I have no idea how far it goes down.
Any suggestions?
