Well pump not working.

[wdswtr]

This has me confuzzeled?

WDSWTR: I do not see how it is possible for you to have a foot valve if your pump is located in the well, (jet pump) Its a pain in the arse but to find out if you have a bad check valve you can do as defrazzle said or fill your holding tank up with the pump and .....

I have a jet pump(above ground in my basement) in my house....it has a foot valve 100' + on the bottom. Maybe I misread your statement.

Yep misread. I said if your pump is in your well.

OK - now we are getting somewhere. I know this topic is not about hunting, but maybe the "support" of hunting. In any case I am learning something new.

Time to call in the pros and pay big time !

That's code for call up your boys, go buy the beer, and start digging!

How far from the house is the well?

[fasteddie]

You sure as heck don't want a bunch of beer drinkers working on a well !

[wooly]

Who's working on the well...? Beer drinkers can run a hickory highlift all day long,lol!

I think I am gonna get the boys and pull the pump this weekend.Not sure what else to do.Gonna bring my son and some of his friends(all 18) and let them do the digging and pulling.

Now you're talking! Get those experts in there......for digging and pulling that is. LOL

[ny hunter]

All I have to do is feed them.

[wdswtr]

What do they have to dig for? Can you not disconnect the water line at the well and pull the pump out? Im confused lol

[ny hunter]

The line is down about four feet.

[wdswtr]

Yeah I thought about that after I posted. I wasnt thinking about getting below the frost line. Carry on lol.
