the other day my pump lost its prime,we found the problem to be a 20yr+ old cast elbow that had developed some pin holes apon trying to disconnect the union the pvc pipe that goes down into the well broke off at the top,falling into the well my father and i bought another foot valve and installed a new pipe (we could see water and measured it at fifteen feet down) putting the foot valve around ten to fifteen feet under water and it worked fine for a few days and quit we belive that the old pipe is being sucked up and blocking the water flow so my problem now is weither i can get the old pipe out. is there a special tool i can buy or rent for such a task or am i going to have to install a new well?
