I am about to drop my well pump and saw something about a torque arrestor. I have been reading the threads but I am still unclear if it is good or bad. I am concerned about pulling the pump, if need be, and getting caught on the pitlell adapter. I have a Franklin pump-3phase 2hp pump w/ 2HP motor. It is supposed to do well in sandy conditions...We have that here in SW Wyo. I have a control box in the basement next to the pressure tank(80gal). I had the pump pulled last summer when we stopped getting water(the well silted in). We replaced the Galvanized pipe with 1 1/4" Black Poly Pipe so my wife and I can pull it in the future if need be. I am concerned about how much torque will be placed on the poly pipe and how long before it cracks or breaks. The poly pipe is secure to an adapter with barbed end and 2 hose clamps then threaded into the pump. The same with the pitless adapter. The pump is held up off the bottom by steel wire secured above ground. The wires will be taped every 10'.
Thank you,
