I like the idea to put 1" Polypropylene Conduit to protect The Wire. I wonder why you did not keep the conduit all the way to the top? Also, there is 1-1/4" CTS 250 PSI Poly Pipe available - why not to use it? It will not reduce the diameter from the pump and can withstand more pressure.
This a question more than a comment: just had a well drilled- 600’ 1 1/2 gpm- probably 80’ max from well to house. Figured I’d be installing 3/4 hp pump but wondering what size wire to use. I am doing all the installation work myself- hopefully with help- and I do know how to do plumbing and electrical. Thanks for any advice, I liked your video and the question/answers.
Up where I am the casing is steel . Little tougher to drill I like the idea of sleeving the pump wire I've had wires chafe and break I'm sure you did it but smearing some silicone grease on that adapter and o rig is a good idea
Many Municipalities require the well head to be 18" above grade to prevent surface water contamination (from rain and flooding) cutting below grade is a no no.
The pitless adapter did not look perfectly well fitted. It was possible to move. It actually looked as if the outer concave piece was oriented 90 degrees wrong and had cut into the gasket? Could that be the case?
You 100% should have a T handle atleast 1" wider than the pipe this way no possible way to accidently drop the pump and or pitless adapter when installing
Kinda had my doubts when i saw the croqs, but i guess you do know what you are doing. Excellent video. Get some boots.
This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!
No problem 👍
Great video! Thank you. Gonna DIY my well pump next month.
No problem!
Good video man! I know you’ll get them down to perfection!!

We have codes. Have to follow them.
@@MooneysExcavatingYour codes prohibit to put 1 1/4", 250 psi pipe instead of 1", 200 psi poly pipe?
@@genevelis6075 yes

Great video. Wish you would have listed the part numbers on the pipe connectors and other stuff you used

Thankyou, I stared sleeving the wires for the same exact reason.
Put a t wider than the casing at the end of your gas pipe so it can’t fall into the well.
Excellent video. Thank you!

Makes sense. This was in the middle of a field and did what the owner requested.
I noticed that you used Hose Clamps. Are Pinch Clamps a bad idea?
I just rather hose clamps where you can really tighten them. This line has constant pressure.
Great video, could you tell me what HP pump you guys used. thanks
Hi Great video! do you think the pitless adapter will work on an above ground jet pump or would it suck air?
I am not sure honestly. We only use them for submerged pumps.
what about the Check Valve on top of the pump
The pitless adapter did not look perfectly well fitted. It was possible to move. It actually looked as if the outer concave piece was oriented 90 degrees wrong and had cut into the gasket? Could that be the case?
@@andersocklind7679 you are correct. Didn’t notice that while making the video but inspected before covering up and noticed it and fixed it.
@@MooneysExcavating Ok! Thank you for explaining.

@@Lefishn good idea I will do that 👍
kind of a dumb question, but howd you get the electrical tape off the pitless adapter? just yanked it off?
@@dannyboy163 yessir!
Good video you need a check valve at the pump
Thankyou. Pump has a built in check valve.
@@MooneysExcavating I understand that theres a ton of head pressure cause of the depth
