Continue lowering the rope a couple feet further each time, until the rope comes up wet.

Therefore, lower the weight down a few feet and bring it back up, feeling for water on the rope. It is difficult to hear or see when the weight enters the water. To measure the static water depth, tie a weight to some string or light rope.You do not need to remove this cap or lift the pump at this time, as you only need to measure the static water depth.

This cap is cemented to a pipe which connects to the pitless adapter (the device that holds the pump in place and connects the water from the pump to the line leading to the house below the frost level). This will reveal a secondary cap and the electrical connections. Before measuring the static water depth and well depth, first remove the well cap.However, it does increase the force required to pull the water to the surface (hydraulic principles). From the top of the cylinder, you can reduce the pipe down to a 1-1/4in diameter pipe to save on cost and weight. The amount of pipe depends on the depth of the static water level in the well. Pipe is needed to connect the cylinder to a pump head and the plunger to a handle at the surface. Identify how much connecting pipe is needed. This allows water to enter the upper cylinder after passing through the check valve. f.ē/4in pipe 6in long with drilled holes.Otherwise, you will trim it too small and need to start over. When inserting the assembly in the cylinder to test the fit, first soften the leather with water. Carefully cut this to fit snugly in the cylinder and on the pipe extender. The hole saw can be again used to finish the outer cut. You can use a 2in hole saw to score a ring in each side, then use a 1-1/8in Forstner bit to bore out the inner hole.

The purpose of the spacers is to keep the gasket rigid. Second, it contains a second check valve to allow water in the upper cylinder. First, it provides a seal with the cylinder to generate suction.
