Thanks Lloyd,

Not sand it is just normal water abrasion. It's why pebbles in streams are round.

This is an INTERNAL abrasion? OK, forget what I already wrote.


Well is 430-ft, water level last checked 316-ft. I two well-company people seriously doubt it is sand at the level. I asked and they said, normal water erosion. I defer to them and unfortunately no band-aid process available as the pipe is in 21' lengths with couplings joining each length.

Many out here have the problem that's why the well-companies can charge 700-bucks for three hours work. I am looking into continuous pipe and support cables for the next time that way I can lift it myself. It'll only cost $350 to lift it, but I bet they can think of a good reason to charge 700 anyway. Capitalism and a captive market.

If it's flex, why can't you lift it yourself? Between the drop pipe,
wiring, and safety rope, "it shouldn't be too hard" g, especially
with a hole at the bottom, allowing all that water weight to go away.

G'luck.

I'm considering installing a pitless adapter so I can sink the manual
pump into the well casing alongside my submersible drop pipe. I
already have the new lead-free brass foot valve, PVC pump, and PVC
pipes. Water level is 18 or so feet.
