Hi John,
Glad you got the well working. Sorry to have to tell you though that the check valve and foot valve are redundant. You could use either one like your set up is. Both are not needed. You also did not need the 1 1/4 pipe down inside the 2" casing. Just using a 2" to 1 1/4 reducer at the well casing would have worked fine. As long as you have an air tight connection. Then to the check valve in the 1 1/4 line to the pump. This would accomplish the same thing. One thing to watch with the setup that you now have is if there is an air leak at the 2" to 1 1/4 reducer, and your water level gets pumped down it may drop below the bottom of the 1 1/4 pipe and not pump, or pump some air. In all the messing around getting my well to work properly I tried dropping a poly pipe down the casing to get around an air leak in one of the casing couplings. I have a sand point on 1 1/4 inch pipe.
The pipe inside the 1 1/4 pipe would pull the water level down too far in the 1 1/4 pipe. Water would not run in the point fast enough. But once I got the leak in the joint fixed, hooking the pump directly to the pipe (with no poly pipe inside) would suck enough water through the point and the well worked fine. Regards
Gary

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
