Hey, guys...
I noticed this thing looked a little sketchy a year or so ago and I decided to put the hose on it and sure enough it's leaking. I dug it last weekend and have confirmed the problem.
I have a few questions.
1. They did not have the 2 wire 230v pump grounded, could that cause the casing to rust or the pump to work harder? Not really important, but I am curious.
2. Should I replace the down pipe? I think it's black poly with the silver strip like what's coming out of the pitless. If replace, what should I use? https://www.menards.com/main/plumbi...085-c-8570.htm?tid=107851993523426455&ipos=10 or https://www.menards.com/main/plumbi...20-c-8570.htm?tid=-2473861120355006986&ipos=8
3. Should I replace the pump cable? Or if there are no abrasions or cuts should I not worry?
4. Am I on track with the replacement casing and coupler? I was just gonna use a shielded Fernco coupler but I know Ohio wants a Dresser type. That and if I'm still here I don't want to worry about it in 20 years in my late 60s or so.
5. What is the best way to cut below the weld into the good casing? I imagine an angle grinder. Maybe that almost all the way through, and then a recip saw.
