I have a 165 ft. well lined with perf. PVC, and was lowering a new submersible pump into it when somewhere around 130ft. it has become stuck from moving any further down. I navigated previous "sticking points" without too much trouble, but now it feels fairly challenging to go any further. So one question is -- what do I do?
The second question is that now when I try to pull it back up, it seems to be under some kind of suction/resistance that takes two of us to free it initially -- after that it pulls up fine, but if lowered down to the same limit, does the same thing again. I have a torque arrestor on it and wonder if this could be the cause -- maybe it has come loose -- anyone have this experience before?
I am looking for suggestions before pulling it back up out of the well to inspect it. I have test run it down in the well and it works fine -- I would like to lower it down another 20 feet or so to take advantage of the depth -- we are in a low-flow situation and every little bit helps.
Any help is appreciated...
