Yeah if he wanted the big money I am sure he would have came yesterday.

Well I just got off the phone with the well guy. He said there was a pencil size hole in the galv. pipe going down to the well. He is going to replace it with pvc. I wonder why they did not put pvc in there the first time? Oh well at least we will have good water pressure again. I said "well" a lot didn't I. Hehehe

Good luck!

I think it depends in the placement of the pump. Mine is at the bottom so not much weight should be on the pipe. I just wonder how a pencil size hole could be in a 7yr old galv. pipe. Seems kinda early to have problems.

The last thing you want is uncontrolled pipe rubbing.

That is what I am wondering. Installation error maybe.

You won't know until it is pulled up. Even if it was installation error there really isn't much that can be done.

That is a nice pic Chris. That kinda helps.....but I am still wondering how they are going from galv. to pvc if what Jim says is correct. I think I am gonna have to ask the well guy.
