A friend of mine lives 16.8 miles from me. His well pump appears to have
died. I went there and checked it for him, and there is power going to
the submersible pump, but no water coming out. I also popped off the
well cover and can not hear any sound, where a pump can usually be
heard.

I told him that he need to get a well driller, or plumber who can pull
the pump.

Anyhow, I was just joking around, when I told him that he's welcome to
run a garden hose from my house to his place. We got to laughing about
this, and said it would probably take at least 500 50ft hoses.

It turns out I was way off.....
On my way home, I watched the odometer. He's 16.8 miles away.
That's 88,704 feet. (roughly 1775 50ft garden hoses).

Anyhow, this is just nonsense, but I was thinking about it, and wonder
if there would be any pressure at the end of 1775 hoses. First off, the
hoses would have to go thru culverts so they were not driven over. Then
the hose would be going up and down a lot of hills and valleys, in this
case, the hose would have to cross a large river, which in itself could
be a problem. But like I said, this is just nonsense, but I am wondering
if there would be any pressure? I sort of doubt it.

I've already connected SEVEN 50ft hoses (350ft) when I had frozen
hydrants, and needed to get water to my animals, and I could notice a
considerable slowing of the water, and its pressure.

Anyhow, just for grins, is there any way to calculate water pressure
thru a 5/8" garden hose per foot? And just to mention it, my pressure
tank gauge varies from 35 to 50lbs.

Sure,
Pressure at the other end of the hose is exactly the same as at the head
end.
Problem is friction. The issue is FLOW.

There would be considerable altitude difference, because that river is
the low point, and the hose would go downward a lot, then have to go
back up hill to his house.

I dont know what the altitude difference would be, nor how to determine
the altitude of my home, his home, and the river. But I do know there
are a lot of hills and valleys and some are quite steep!

Actually, how does someone find out the altitude of their home (or any
other place)? Is this something that can be found on the web, based on
the physical address?

I don't know if you're posting a serious problem, looking for a real solution, but I'll take a chance and give you a possible solution that will probably fix the problem.

In the control box is a black capacitor called the start capacitor. Have your friend turn off the power at the breaker, take out the capacitor, take it to a water well company, or Home Depot and buy another one. The one he gets may or may not look exactly alike, but will probably work. Put in the new one, turn on the power and see if it works. I bet it will.

I've seen start capacitors that were half the original size that worked, and vice versa. They're usually around $25.00 dollars. You can get replacements on eBay for less but you have to wait for shipping.

The silver capacitor is called the run capacitor. When the pump starts, but won't continue to run after an indefinite period of time, it needs to be replaced.

The thing you should have told us is how deep is the well.
If it is 50-60 feet, pulling the pump is doable for a couple of guys.
Much deeper than that and you need a machine or really big guys.
You can make it a whole lot easier if you snake an air hose down the
pipe and blow as much water out as you can. Then 80 might not be that
hard. Hope they put a rope on the pump.

Back in my college days, I learned formulas for a
couple sizes of fire hose, to calculate the pressure
loss. This was important if you were running fire
pump, and wanted to provide the correct pressure at
the nozzle. I'm sure there are formulas for garden
hose. 3/4 would have less pressure loss than 1/2
inch. I do not know the formulas for garden hose.

Would you like the formulas for 2 1/2 or 3 inch
diameter fire hose?

You may be able to find a topographical map of your

the down cancels out the up. What matters are source

When I was a teen, I came home one day to find a
garden hose I didn't recognize, connected from the
spigot on my parents house, and going to the spigot
on the next door neighbors house. I asked what was
with that. Find out that the water department was
doing some serious repairs. They got permission
from my parents, and ran the hose so the neighbors
could have water while they were doing the repairs.

The water guy took our meter off, so we had free water
for a couple days.

On my way home, I watched the odometer. He's 16.8 miles away.
That's 88,704 feet. (roughly 1775 50ft garden hoses).

Anyhow, this is just nonsense, but I was thinking about it, and
wonder if there would be any pressure at the end of 1775 hoses.
First off, the hoses would have to go thru culverts so they were not
driven over. Then the hose would be going up and down a lot of hills
and valleys, in this case, the hose would have to cross a large
river, which in itself could be a problem. But like I said, this is

when I had frozen
hydrants, and needed to get water to my animals, and I could notice
a considerable slowing of the water, and its pressure.

Anyhow, just for grins, is there any way to calculate water pressure
thru a 5/8" garden hose per foot? And just to mention it, my
pressure tank gauge varies from 35 to 50lbs.


Sure,
Pressure at the other end of the hose is exactly the same as at the
head end.
Problem is friction. The issue is FLOW.

Unless both houses were at the same altitude, the pressure would not

There would be considerable altitude difference, because that river is
the low point, and the hose would go downward a lot, then have to go
back up hill to his house.

I dont know what the altitude difference would be, nor how to
determine the altitude of my home, his home, and the river. But I do
know there are a lot of hills and valleys and some are quite steep!

Actually, how does someone find out the altitude of their home (or any
other place)? Is this something that can be found on the web, based on
the physical address?

Google earth . It's pretty accurate , shows the altitude difference in just
a few feet for instance on a hill or something .

Most of the country has been mapped out as to the altitude. I can get on
the county tax map and get contour lines and satalite pix of the house I
live in.

See if your county web page has a GIS map program .

Some, maybe all or most all of the GPS units will have a screen where the
altitude can be read. It does not seem to be near as accurate as the
horizontal position.

Years ago I ordered from the government some maps that had the contour lines
on it. The local library may have some, or a small local airport may be
able to help with the maps.

That isn't true. At some given pressure and some hose length, the
friction of the hose is great enough that the water effectively
forms a plug and the pressure will be X at the source end and 0 at
the far end.

Much deeper than that and you need a machine or really big guys.
You can make it a whole lot easier if you snake an air hose down the
pipe and blow as much water out as you can. Then 80 might not be that
hard. Hope they put a rope on the pump.

To answer several questions, we dont know the well depth, but it's at
least 100ft. I know when my own well pump died, it was impossible to
lift the steel pipes and pump even with my tractor loader. I had a
company do the job, which was costly, but my pump is down 370ft. The old
pump was 38 years old according to the label on it.

For this guy, I did try another capacitor. I have a few spare pump
control boxes on hand, so we tried all of that. Either his pump is dead,
or there's a broken wire somewhere down in the well.

I suggested he ask his neighbors if he can run a hose to their house
until he can get someone to pull his well. He said he would. However, I
told him he needs to disconnect his well tank and either add a valve, or
cap off that pipe. Otherwise the water from the neighbor could be pushed
back down into his well. (I think that could happen)..... If he gets the
neighbors water, I told him I'd come and sweat a valve in his copper
pipe for him tomorrow, but I think he's only going to ask them if he can
haul buckets, because it's still cold enough that a hose could freeze
up, and his neighbor is quite a distance away, so it would take at least
8 hoses.

He's hoping he can get a well company tomorrow....
I recommended the guys that did my well. I was pleased with their work.

Sure,

end.

When the water is not moving. When it is moving pressure is lower at
the far end. Same as with electricity. E = IR, where I = flow, R =
resistance (which he should be able to measure with his seven 350-foot
hoses) and E = pressure.

Problem is friction. The issue is FLOW.

That raises an interesting question. When the water is only a foot
from the supply, it hasn't run into much friction, but the flow is the
same as the water that's 16 miles from the supply. Almost like it
sent scouts ahead and found out about all the friction along the way.

The water at the far end of the hose is slowed down by excessive friction.

The water near the beginning of the hose is slowed down by the hose
being blocked (by the slow water at the far end).

Does that make sense?
