Oh Well - Day 2 Can We Get This Well Fixed?

Today is our second attempt at getting the well pump to work. Yesterday it didn't work. The bought a new pump and it did not work. Today we are going to pull the well again and install another pump!

I was paying more attention to the view of the land. Looks like an amazing place to live.

Hey, y’all got the well fixed! Always great to have fresh clean cold water.

It worked! 2nd time is a charm? or is that 3rd time! I didn't want to pull that thing again! There is no getting around 2 + hours of getting the pump out. Thanks for watching Mr. Sawyer! And leaving a comment! Miss you guys! Kevin

@@MillGapFarms Maybe this is a dumb question, but why is it not plastic pipe instead of metal rods? I would think that would be easier to pull out, but I'm a little ignorant of drilled wells. Most of my experience has been with dug wells and springs. Miss y'all too! your farm is so peaceful and relaxing.

Metal is used beyond 150' down. It's best to use galvanized pipe too. The pressure at the bottom of the pipe where the pump is connected is beyond that of plastic. Maybe schedule 80 but I would not want to risk it. galvanized can handle a lot of pressure. Thanks for watching Mr. Sawyer. Kevin
