Very nice video, good detail. I have a 1952 toilet with a 5 gallon tank because I want high water volume. Everyone in my neighborhood has those low flows and the plumber has to come every few years to clear out the pipe. I don't have that problem. I just want it higher as we get older. Thanks

PVC is NEVER anoption for attaching a pump to either end of a submersible pump. Also. I see people installing pumps without a 1/4 inch poly rope attached as an extra safety system in case the pump becomes detached from the pipe.

That hinge!

I'm impressed that she asked questions, and he graciously answered her, without getting angry.

Next time u wanna check the pump… just test the pump leads by checking for continuity and takin the pump off the motor and that try to spin the shaft…. Theres also a bearing height checker u can order

Is it better to use mortar on the back or the easy stick tape they have for these?

Great info. Thx !

Gran bel lavoro! Complimenti. A breve dovrò intervenire sulla mia pompa, il pressostato perde pressione e per fare partire la pompa devo aprire l'interruttore manualmente. Temo sia la valvola di ritegno andata. La pompa è assicurata ad una corda. Dovrò installare tra pompa e valvola di ritegno un cilindro di ghisa contro la corrente galvanica. Dalle analisi pare che la falda granitica sia corrosiva per i metalli

They broke the pump off pvc while pulling it up

Never use pvc fittings in well or bores as they break

Never ever use pvc at the top of a pump

Once upon a time in 1999, during a one-day deluge that was the all-time record rain in Juneau Alaska, I pulled a submersible pump by hand from 250 feet. I did it alone at 52 years old. I can tell you that was quite a chore. Walking the pipe the length of a football field and anchoring it in place to allow the next grab/tug at the well head was the biggest challenge. Over the years, my orthopedic surgeon has benefited greatly from these performances.

Nice video. Although I've never known of a well where the casing does not go all the way to the bottom. Probably not the case here either. I'm guessing since it was pulling from the wires and the wires are on the side of the pump it was not pulling straight up on the pump and that's why it was getting stuck. Another thing is when you treated the well and had the chlorine in the house, I've always been told chlorine will damage the diaphragm in the pressure tank.

Your use of gloves is down right unsanitary lol

Didn't need the homemade stop, you should have put the pool shock in before you put the pump back in, now you have acid on your wires and black pipe

I'm delighted to see your wood block/clamp device... I had almost the same exact idea! The hinge is genius. I'm going to do the same exact thing!

This is annoying nasty work for home DIY but you did a good job considering you were doing it while the wife was hovering over you filming and asking tons of questions

Nice job! Betcha the torque twisting from when the pump started may had something to do with the pvc snapping off.. next time go with a stainless steel short nipple to stainless steel check valve to stainless steel mpt / barb male adpt. fitting. Also add a pull rope on the submersible pump.

This is exactly what I needed to see. I've ordered this same riser and now think I can get it installed. Thank you for sharing!

Inside the well please use stainless or at least brass fittings on the pump to the black roll. Tape the wires well to the tubing and use a safety rope, just in case things come apart in the well as in your case. I would never use pvc fittings inside a well. They are simply not strong enough to take all the pump starts.

Never use plastic fittings

How is the lady sink now that you had it used for a while now? How is the quality and product?

This is weird, my cabs are the exact same color exact same handles, and I've chosen to use tiles exactly that shape and size, using the same exact grout type and color. I intend to use 1/4" thick Hardie backer boards though many vids depict just tiling directly on top of dry wall or plaster. All of this was decided without any conscious decision to copy or follow this video, though I did watch it many months earlier. I didn't buy tile yet but have one sample of gray and have thought about using a mix of colors like you did. Hey, what month were you born? :)

Great job

All else fails ... read the directions

This was kind of fun y’all. The girls are adorable!

Hello Cherry and David! I’m loving this. My address is… lol. I’m for real going to take some of your ideas though. My home is 23 years old now. And stuff is happening. Y’all are awesome and I hope you’re both doing well.

I don't remember if you mentioned the wiring, but if that wiring didn't get replaced it's likely to give you trouble in the near future after being stretched and yanked on like that.

Use stainless only

Quick question please, how long did your new well pump hold up, I've had minenew 3/4 HP installed in in 2021, 2023 got fried by lightning storm. Please just wanted to know if you didn't get a bad pump like i ended up with. 🙏 Thanks

Wow. That looks like it was close to loosing the pump in the well. I didn’t see a safety rope hooked to the pump either . Sure glad those wires held . Great video.

great to see common man do the job. I literally gasped when I saw the pump come up broke off the pipe and dangling by the wires!!

I guess you never watched any other well video , make yourself the wheel

Next time put a big rag in the toilet opening so if you drop the nut it won't falling to the pipe😊😊 Good job

Thanks you for your great video, almost I broke my countertop yesterday lolll now is easy 😀

The reason it broke is because of the male PVC adapter, it is probably the weakest PVC fitting that there is. I had one fail too. It didn't completely brake but it had a crack and we couldn't get any pressure. What I use is a Close Pipe Nipple and a Female PVC adapter, this fitting is super strong compared to the Male PVC adapter. The Close Pipe Nipple goes into the pump and the Female PVC adapter goes in place where his broken Male PVC adapter was...

Wow, at 9:30 seeing that pump come out detached from the pipe... You are so lucky it came up!

Our 2 hp pump and motor weigh another almost 20+ kg or 50 lbs. So you just cannot manually pull that kind of weight without a winch/comealong system. Good luck.

If you have a pichancha (check valve) then the pipe is full of water. If you have 1.5 inch pipe and water weight 1.9 kg per meter. Well is 60 meters so do the math first to know what you are lifting. the other vid pulling pvc pipe up through a sleeve on the tree is what will be needed. And a second carrick bend friction knot will be needed to hold the pipe while you reset the main friction knot. We have a 4 pod 12ft high and a chain winch that pulled the original 2 inch steel pipe using a clamp designed to hold the pipe down low at the ground at the coupling lip while resetting the winch hook, lifting a few meters at a time.

I was on the edge of my seat watching this lol.

No pitless adapter?

Great job. Going to pull mine needed a refresher haven't done it since 2002 before I I had internet. LoL thanks 👍

Damn man just pull the damn thing fucK all the talking sound like a old woman

My well is 375 feet deep ,I had a company pull n replace pump some ten years ago. I will do it myself aft seeing your holding wood brace clamp thingy, thanks for sharing. God bless yall real good. From southern MD.

When Lee says wiggle it just wiggle it ;) ..... Thats what we do Behind the Rig while drilling or pulling back pumps while saying lots of sware words 🙏🙏. Hold your tounge correctly and then it comes free and its the best feeling in the world ...unless the well collapses then it's no fun 😂

Reminded me, I have to finish the lift kit on my truck.

👍👍👍👍

Stainless steel fittings. 2 clamps --all stainless. Double sided tape

Should use stainless fittings to connect to black poly pipe

Where is the strainer installation.. that is the most important part.
