I live in Florida and have been having issues with my irrigation well since I've been in my home since the 90's. The well has a 1/2 hp jet pump that was plumbed before I got here and it keeps drawing down and sucking air. I had a well guy out about 4 years ago and he pulled out the PVC and told me my well was about 21 feet...too shallow. This is just for sprinklers not drinking.
In a weird twist of fate, I decided to try to flush it out using some 2 " PVC with a hose attachment. I added 3 sections of 2 inch and it went down past the 21 foot bottom! The PVC dropped down until I ran out 30'.
So next I dropped a cheap $20 camera down there and see this pipe sticking up into the 2 " at, you guessed it 21 feet. So I have this pipe sticking up from the depths. I plumber said I may have a submersible pump down on the end of that broken pipe past 50 feet or more.
So what should I do now? Thanks. Here's some video of the thing
