Hi,
A little background. My deep well jet pump quit pumping (suspected bad impeller). It is old as dirt. It is a Flint and Walling. I cannot read the model number. The spacing of the bolts on the ejector is 2.5". I can't find a pump that has this spacing. The right angle adapter that is on the well will NOT come off. I took the three bolts holding the flange on and dropped the lower flange and the rubber O ring and I have tried to screw, unscrew, pry, heat with torch, hammer it up and it is just on there. The pump that I bought has a different spacing where the ejector bolts to so it won't work (and of course it is past the return date) so I am stuck with it. Oh well, maybe I can resell it on Marketplace or something. I would really just love to find a deep well jet pump that has that spacing so that I can swap. I have tried for over four hours to try to get that adapter off and it won't come off. It spins, but will not come off, so I figure if I can find a pump that has the 2.5" spacing, then I can just bolt it up and be done with it. I have heated it and beat it and twisted it and tugged on it and it simply won't do anything but spin I have spent about 6-8 hours on the internet looking at pumps, asking questions on Amazon (because most pumps don't give the ejector bolt spacing in the description and I can find 2.75" but not 2.5".) I am at the mercy of this forum and its wise members who may just know of a model or a way to find a pump that has a 2.5" bolt pattern for the ejector so that I can have water at my house again (it has been almost 2 weeks since this ordeal began). I don't know much about plumbing, but I have basic mechanical knowledge..etc, I don't have financial means to call a plumber or well person and have them do it, and if it wasn't for this d*mned adapter being stuck on here / no one having a 2.5" bolt spacing description for their well pump, I would be in business. Can anyone help me? Thank you so much in advance. If you are not sure what the right angle adapter is then here is a pic of a similar one I found online (except this has the ears open and mine are closed
