I jetted it down part way the pounded it about a foot and a half into the clay.
Now when hook up a pitcher pump and all I get is resistance on the handle. No water comes out, just very hard to pump. I have hooked up a piston pump to it and no water whatsoever . I stuck a rod down the pipe and I have water all the way to the bottom of the stainless steel point. The water starts at about 7 feet from ground level. The bottom foot or so is in the clay, would this stop the pump from pumping? When i pour water into the pipe , it quickly drains away .
Why can i get water?

thanks
