[img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] I'm going on record with an early New Year's Resolution that THIS is the year that I get our farm water well up and running! This is the classic case of the electrician's porch light being the one that doesn't work. After owning two different water well and pump service businesses for twenty-plus years, my own well isn't pumping! [img]/forums/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] We have what they call "rural water" piped in for drinking and domestic use, but that well would be nice to have for landscape watering and for washing tractors. It hasn't run in years and I suspect that the impellers are rusted to the bowls, so all it needs is to be "round tripped" and probably cleaned up a little. It's a shallow setting, maybe forty feet and it's a sub. My main excuse is that I want to make some changes and get rid of this clay-block structure that is on top of the well and go to a drive-over manhole arrangement. So far that project hasn't worked it's way up to the top of the list. I did finally get new wiring all set up and when I threw the switch, the pump only grunted a little and would not turn.
