How do you remove a deep well pump?

Have the person removing the well pump stand directly above the well to pull the well pump straight up and out of its casing. Have the second person securely hold the pump assembly and guide the water pipe to avoid kinks in the water line. Keep lifting until the well pump is entirely free of its casing.

Can a pump be installed with inappropriate piping?

Pump piping design is sometimes overlooked when setting up new installations. The focus is more on the equipment than the pipes that supply it. However, when installed with inappropriate piping arrangements, pumps can experience premature and repeated failures during the life of the pump.

Can a pump support suction or discharge piping?

Pumps should never support the suction or discharge piping. Any stress on the pump casing by the piping system greatly reduces pump life and performance. Keep in mind that increasing the performance of the pump will help to make up for piping mistakes made on the discharge side of a pump.

When to remove air from self priming pump?

Prudent system design dictates that the suction pipe length be held to a minimum to promote long pump life. Every section of suction piping equates to a volume of air that must be removed when the pump starts. Best practices say to reduce priming time to a minimum.

What to use to replace pipe in front of pool pump?

Another way around the issue of limited space on the pipe in front of the pump is to cut a regular sized coupling down by sawing off 1/2″ on each side. Rubber couplings can be used, but are prone to leak and collapse when placed so close to the pump intake.
