    This is probably my most favorite video. I have a well that I just pulled up of 225' of PVC. The pipe had broken about 4' up from the pump at the bottom- and had burned up. I used a hitch deer hoist (I dont hunt....but now own a deer hoist. LMAO), vise grips, two 8' long ratchet straps, and a 2"X6" board with a U shaped cutout for pipe and wire to come up through. It wasnt bad...just time consuming...a lot of cranking. Sure beat the hand over hand removal. Now I have a new pump, polypipe, pitless adapter and all new fittings. So glad I found your channel. Thanks so much for your tips and knowledge.

    Mystery solved! I haven't seen a pitless installation before. I can tell from the cap on top of the casing that this is what we have up at the family farm. It's been sitting idle for 10 years and I will have to work on it at some point. Thanks for another very clear explanation.

We got the whole system up and going today, to include replacing the PVC well pipe with new black poly, new wire, and a fancy electronic pump drive, a Pentek Intellidrive, and a new Berkeley 10 gpm 3/4 HP pump. The system works beautifully. I really appreciate your content.

    Northern Minnesota here, my pitiless is down about 8 feet. When I had my well refurbished with new parts after building a new home it was interesting to learn that the previous owners had actually buried the pressure tank down 8’ where the pipe ran to the house. The pressure tank was inside a plastic garbage bag which we hit with the excavator when installing the new pitiless. And no, I didn’t do it that way on the new install😆. People do sone crazy stuff.

    Hey H2O Mechanic: Thanks for the informative videos. I am almost done with my well conversion from jet pump to submersible. I need to hook up electric and the water line. the pump is installed as well as the pit less adapter. 6" coupling welded on to old well casing with a 6" adapter to 6"pvc.,to get above grade. I also installed a "tee" below the pit less adapter with a street elbow and a 3/8 quarter turn ball valve to drain the pipes for winter time. I shortened the ball valve handle drilled it and installed a handle to work it from inside the well casing. The roll pipe is in or on a barbed fitting in the "tee" down the hole. Your working knowledge is second to none and hats off to your teacher... GB

    I’ve been watching many of your videos over the years. Had problems this last weekend. These videos have given me a good explanation of how everything works. One thing I picked up from several videos, if you’re unsure just call a professional. I called a professional and we came to conclusion it was probably a check valve on the top of the pump. They used a crane and cut the black roll pipe out in 20’ pieces. 190’ deep. It was check valve btw. Going back together they used 20’ pieces of white pvc with threaded couplers. I questioned this with the installer and he assured me the pvc is thicker walled and that the state I live in requires the pvc now? Idk. The pitless threaded in nicely. My well has a rod and bracket that slip over the pitless and as you tighten the nut on top it puts more holding power on the pitless. I opted to reuse the pump and motor, hopefully it’ll get me buy a couple years. Looks simple enough for me to do myself, but I’ll still hire a professional. Yes shit happens but I’d rather it not fall with me doing it. You drop you fish it out lol. My guy said he’ll charge more to fix my fuckup. Hire a professional.

    Pitless is the only form of well you will find in the Northeast unless you have an old school shallow hand dug well where the pipe just goes through the wall below the frost line.
    I fear to think of how far down our pump might be in upstate New York. Our neighbors well is 780 ft deep and we are another 30 ft above them on the hill. Are well has never run out of water even when running sprinklers in the yard during New York droughts. No matter what time of year the water is always crystal clear and 40° f.
    That pump makes 12GPM at 70 psi at the well tank too!

    When you first started talking about pitless adapters I said to myself, no one is going to know what he's talking about. But at the end of the video you fixed it. Excellent explanation of the adapter. On my system I installed a Pump Saver device which senses the current draw of the pump. If it gets too high, maybe a dry well, maybe a bad bearing, it will cut the power. Also has a timer which allows you to set the amount of time the pump will run. On slow recharging wells this gives the well time to fill up again. Was well worth the $100 and is easy to install.

    Very well done. I've installed more well pumps with pitless adaptors that I can count and your explaination was right on the money. I suspect that the person that installed that pump was someone not experienced with well systems because no technician worth his salt would use a plastic fitting on the pitless. I live in Maine so our pitless adaptors are down deeper; around five feet due to the colder climate, and thankfully we've always used the 1" black poly pipe for the drops because that material is just about bullet proof when it comes to strength yet flexible enough when it has to be pulled, (but awful, awful stiff when being installed on a cold January day, LOL) Great video.

    I grew up on a rural California property wit a well. It was drilled to 275' with water at about 175, and the pump hung at about 225. The concrete well pad accommodated the well, and the bladder tank, which was 50 to 75 gallons. It was a steel cased well. That water was so good! And crystal clear. During our 1 and only major pump failure, we just ran a garden hose from our neighbors well, and that kept us going until the pump was replaced. The wells in that area must have had really good flow rates because I never heard of anyone in the neighborhood running their well dry. The housing development was on a 2.5 mile oval with houses along the inside, and outside of the oval with 2.5 acre lots. Each lot had it's own well.

Seeing that pitless adapter with your explanation gives me the confidence to take on a future repair myself. I will need to replace my pitless adapter at some point as the water here in my locale is very corrosive and has done a number on mine. So far it's holding pressure down at that connection point but I know at some appointed day it will work loose again and I will hear my well pump short-cycle. I will have to excavate and do a replacement then. Hopefully in the summer as I'm in northern IL.

Be safe and the best of luck in your business!!! As I write this it’s - 22 in Montana 🥶🥶🥶

    I find wells fascinating. I live in rural America and dug a well 3 years ago. Best water I've ever tasted. I had the initial test and a 2 year test and the results are great. Nitrates are a little high but no lead, no fecal bugs. City water now tastes like a combination of algae and chlorine.

    Outstanding video. Thank you for sharing this. Now I know how a pitless adapter works and now to remove the pump.

    I always wondered how my pitless well worked, thanks for the explanation. Going on 25 years with the same Franklin 3/4 hp pump and Well-trol tank (tank is still holding air and the system cycles properly) but I feel comfortable dealing with it now when something decides to fail.

    Excellent video. My pump is pumping some air into the pressure tank every time it cycles on. Im praying its just that o ring.

    Is the water level normally that high or is it that high because the pump has been running forever?

    Man this is awesome content. This video is a huge need because there's limited content on a pitless adapter well trust me I've searched. Have had to just wing it on mine every time!

    Great video. I've got this set up, with a jet pump and 2 lines. It's pulling up very small amount of air. The pressure can't go above 32psi so the pump never shuts off. I think this is the next connection to check!

    I was sure glad you showed how the adapter goes together down in the well pipe. I couldn't quite figure out how you were connecting the 2 pieces when you lowered the piece back into the casing.

  • @gkeyman565

    Great job on that fix, had the same thing here, except my pit-less adapter is probably a newer version and I'm sure there are many versions, mine has no piece on the inside just a T joint that's matched to the adapter, below grade, the adapter has an extension that extends to the top of the 6 inch casing pipe with a T on it that is aligned with the out flow hole and is all metal, there is a long T wrench the goes down the T extension to a bolt that pushes a foot opposite the water elbow to tighten the adapter saddle to the inside of the casing pipe, the top of that T-extension is designed to hang the saddle to vertically alignment and supports the weight of the pump/pipe assembly. I'm sure you seen the type. to pull the pump just disconnect the wires, loosen the adapter bolt with the long t-wrench and pull.
    have a great day
