submersible well pump
I have a 4" steel well casing, the top 5' of the casing is
so encrusted with rust scale that I can't get the pump out. I have tried chipping out the scale but can't get it all. How would a well repairman get it out? I have a backhoe and I'm thinking of digging down as deep as I can and cutting off the casing. Then put a piece of 5" plastic well pipe in with a rubber coupling to fix it. Has anyone ever tried this? |

The top part will have to be replaced as you need to get your new/ repaired pump in as well as the old old one out.. Your plan sounds good to me. I did see a descaling device once that was just a ridgid steel rod with a piece of chain on the end. It was spun at a fair speed, the chain thrashing about hit the rust off. It was a homemade device. |
