On - by mod - when the professionals drop a pump into the well I have recently pulled the pump that is in our deep well system and bought a replacement. I attempted to install the new pump and all was goin well until I got to ab ft down with pump and the pipe its ft to the bottom of the casing and top of the water is ab ft and it happened so fast- I couldn't grab it or anything-- IT FELL!!! Well- I spent days pondering on how in the world I could get it out and finally - I got a ft auger and joined it with another auger.
I winched it up and got the pipe and tied icecycle knot and tied it off. The wire had fell with it so instead of pulling all of it back up and checking the pump- I just connected it to v breaker to see if i could hear or feel the vibrations-- so I would know that it wasn't damaged or broken And got it where I thought it was in water ab ft and when I connected it to the breaker this time there was no vibration or any noise so I had to hoist it back up I've tried auger and I get a hold on it but b4 I make it out of the water with it it's getting stuck or either falls off the end of the auger I really need another opinion on this-.
I lost a section of pipe and a tool in my well trying to pull out what was dropped in by a previous well company. The pull line broke. Can I just leave it there? Ugh, Bill, I hate when that happens. I speculate that what you snagged were remains of someone's previous attempt to sound the depth of the bottom of the well. Feel better, they, too, lost their weight and hook before you came along. I don't much like the idea of leaving debris in a well, though it may have no effect until fishing line fouls a foot valve or bits enter a pump through a well screen.
When retrieving stuff dropped into a well it's important to use a line strong enough that you don't easily break it while fishing up fallen items. Steve: my comments and opinion above to Bill pertain to your well fishing too.
But also we'd prefer not to leave lead items in the well. I'm not sure how much two small lead weights might contribute to detectable lead in your water supply: that would depend on water chemistry, its corrosivity, the formation of a lead oxide coating on the weights themselves, and how much water movement occurs in the well.
My guess is that it'd be better to retrieve the lost weights, hook, bobber, fishing line and other debris from the well. Leaving them until they clog the pump or foot valve might result in loss of water supply at an inconvenient time say during Thanksgiving when you have many guests but suddenly there is no water to drink nor to flush a toilet , and pulling the pump is perhaps more costly than another attempt to fish out the fallen stuff in the well.
June 6, Shawn said: I dropped my wedding ring down my well in my back yard the opening is about 6 inches across and I'm not sure how deep it is.. Please help It's probably possible to retrieve the ring, though it'll be some trouble. Check with your well driller to see what small-object retrieval tools they have on hand.
There are two approaches:. With the pump and piping out of the way and depending on well depth, your well service company might be able to use a 2-line jet large venturi vacuuming approach to see if they can pick up and pump well bottom debris through a screen to catch your ring. This is the most likely approach if someone local is willing to set it up for you.
Some well drillers offer this service under "well cleaning" procedures and may use a compressed air source rather than a 2-line water jet system. It may be necessary to pull the well piping and pump if it's a submersible unit to get those components out of the way. June 16, Tina said: How much does one of the grappler pipe holders cost to buy out rigjt?
Trying to plug the well and need to get to bottom around 4, ft and theirs a hole in the 3" pipe any ideas or will I have to shoot it off above the slip and run tubing in and swallow the 3" with a cutter and cut it off.
Please help me out by explaining what is a "cliton formation" well. Are you referring to a Clinton sandstone formation water well? Other readers: Mr. Myers reference to a "slip tooth" probably refers to an anchoring mechanism for a well tool that allows for movement in directions other than straight vertical. The most expert deep well drillers in the world come from the oil and gas fields. Now that the "T" tool has been removed, you can start pulling the flex pipe up. Have the second person walking the flex pipe out in a straight path.
You will need ' area if you have a ' deep well. If you have a 3rd person, they can assist the first person with pulling out the well pump as it can get tiring for some people. NOTE, the flex pipe will get slippery when you reach water level.
The use of rubber grip gloves can be very helpful here, but is not necessary. Once the well pump is out, you can start removing the old pump. You will need to match its specifications for the new pump. There are 2 different models, one with a control box, one without. When purchasing a new submersible pump, please remember how difficult and troublesome the job is and purchase the most reliable, well reviewed pump you can.
Losing water because of a cheaper pump could cost you more in the long run. When connecting a new pump, make sure that you have someone electrically knowledgeable or an electrical contractor make the connections.
For example, a volt pump with two black wires two "hots" and 1 green wire "ground". When ready to make the electrical connections, make sure to put the heat shrink plastic onto each wire before making the crimp connections.
Getting better crimp connectors than those supplied with your pump would be a good idea. Remember, you don't want to have to remove the pump once it is down in the pipe just because of a bad connection. Once crimped and securely in place, you need to place the heat shrink tubing over the crimp connectors. When in place, you need to add a good amount of heat to the tubing to make it shrink, a match or lighter will not be enough heat. I used a small propane torch.
Once heat shrunk, tape the wires to the pipe to keep them from moving freely in the pipe. To do this, you will need the amount of water pipe ' in this example plus an extra 10' to allow for loops and connection to a lift next time.
You will also need 6 stainless steel cable clamps, use 3 at each end. Now you are ready to install your new pump. You do not need to tape the cable to the water pipe, but you can. Place the pump near the hole and move the water flex pipe so it is in a straight line to the well head.
Just like removal, use 2 people at the well head, and another person to walk the flex pipe towards the well head. Insert the pump into the hole, and slowly start the decent. When the pump hits the water level, it may reduce in weight.
This is perfectly normal since items in water weigh less than in air. Once you get to the pitless adapter, you will need to install your "T" tool once again. Have one person hold the pitless adapter and have someone else screw it in place. Then you can finish inserting the pitless adapter back into place. When the pitless adapter is secured, you will have not weight on the "T" tool, and it can be removed.
Please do not push hard to make sure it is seated properly since this can damage the well casing. Now you can reconnect the electrical connections at the top of the well, and again, if you don't feel comfortable doing this, consult an expert. Before installing the cap, it is best to check to see if you have water.
Connect a hose to the hose connection at the bladder tank, turn on, and shut off the water going to the house. Turn the breaker on to the pump. Your water should gurgle, this sound is what happens when air is being pushed around. If you do not have water after 5 minutes; shut off the breaker to the pump. This is not a problem, what you need to do is wait 5 minutes and allow the water that is being pumped up to settle into the pipe and force the air bubbles up.
