    New sand point well/ pitcher pump problem

    A city boy now has a well. Lots of questions!

    Thank you Valveman for your help. I do appreciate it. I'm pulling a 1 1/4 pipe. I'm "hoping " the hole from that pipe will make it a little easier to put the 2" in. One can only hope.

    Thank you for your time James. Very bad pressure in the hole house. No leaks I can see. I need new bearings on the pump. You can hear it. Its 110 to the pump. Would I be better off with 110 or 220 with the drop in amps.

    Good morning everyone. This is my first post. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for your help in advance. So,,,, here I go. I have almost no water pressure. Everything is old and outdated. A 1 -3/4 well pipe. I can only imagine how much crap is built up inside the tip. Can I reasonably put a 2"...
