62 lbs is pretty high. Mine is at 40. No, a leak may not keep up with the pump, the pump buils up pressure, the leak reduces the pressure, the pump cuts in and builds up pressure, and s n and so fourth.
Certainly can be. Several years ago, the day after I left for a military "adventure" in Central America, our water quit working. Somehow, the pump became detached from the piping and fell to the bottom of the well (about 400 feet). Fortunately, my wife found a well company that had invented its own special tool for "well fishing." They were able to retrieve the pump and reattach it. I didn't know about any of this until I came back home some months later.you need to call a well and pump company---pulling a well pump requires a hoist truck---dropping a pump and pipe into a well is a very expensive mistake---
Yeah, it's probably the only way to know for sure. The check valve should hold, but getting a good seal on the adapter might be tough, so best bet is probably to test just the line. And I would definitely check the check valve as well.is my thought right about pulling line and putting air gauge on a side and capping other side and air chuck, filling with 30psi air and seeing if it leaks?
The pump to pipe connection is probably a good place for a dielectric fitting to prevent electrolysis.so i pulled the pump this morning- when i git it out the nipple out of the top of the pump that goes from the pump to the line had a large hole in it from corrosion. i replaced the nipple and put the pump back in and it is working fine now:thumbup:
