Any pointers here much appreciated...
Had a leak in my black plastic pipe line, about 80 feet below casing head cap. Pulled the line up far enough to fix the leak...did not pull the pump as it was pumping fine.Did leave it hanging above water column almost two days. Leak fixed, I sank the line, powered up via control box. Nothing. Wired pump straight to the power lines, now if I listen at the open well head I can here that the submersible pump is getting power but it’s not pumping water. Hums faintly (well is 260 ft) for almost a minute then stops. If I cut power for a short while then power up again, same thing, hums a short while then stops. Submersibles do not need to be primed, correct? Any clues for what next? (short of pulling it again...this time all of it )
If I somehow shorted it out the motor or some other fool misdeed, would I still be able to hear it when power is getting to it? Or is there some other possible trouble shoot available here? ( Thanks in advance for leads here.)
