The well at our home is an artesian well, with 12 feet of positive head. To prevent it from overflowing it has a seal above the pitless adapter that I am not familiar with. If and when the pump fails I want to be able to change it myself. I have installed and serviced many pumps in the past but never one with this type of seal, also called a packer.
I talked to the well driller that drilled it but he didn't give much information, as he wants to do the work! But, he kind of implies that you can loosen the setscrews and pull it out. Has anyone ever seen of pulled a setup like this? Thanks!
