Have connected the 1/2Hr pump. Sits right on top of the well. I see water
In the well pipe. Have connected the PVC pipes, just together but not cemented.
Primed the prime port, filled the pump with water. But will not lift water
From well. Nothing comes out of the discharge port. Do you think I have
A leak in the suction side? Or is the pump not strong enough. It seems also to have a check valve that what probably keeps water in the well pipe?
Another thing I put a pole down in the well pipe it only went down about feet and hit something hard probably the one way check valve. The well has not been used for a number of years
