how do i pump our deep well water using a ram pump? we have a deep well at home and i use a pump to drive it into our storage tank. we do have another water source from irrigation but it is not safe to use. i have read that a ram pump made from the irrigation system can drive our deep well water instead of using an electric pump. i know one way but it would make it more complicated like using the water force to run a windmill-like system that is connected to our deep well system. i am hoping there is a simple way.

deep well pump? My house uses a deep well pump for water and it is located in my basement. Everytime I lose power for a few hours the pump loses pressure and when it the power comes back on the pump just buzzes.I have to prime the pump several times to get the pressure up again.My question is if I away for a few days and I lose power will that burn out my pump if its just buzzing and has no water flowing thru it?

Ideas for well pump 25 ft deep watering 1/4 acre lawn? I have a well on my land thats about 25 ft deep and would like to pump water for 1/4 acre of lawn.

Deep well pump keeps losing prime? I have a 50 ft deep well and a single line in deep well jet pump above ground. There was a cold winter snap a few weeks ago freezing up the small pressure switch pipes on the pump. Since I am away from home for school my mom got the neighbor to check out the pump and I found out they disconnected the pump and replaced the impeller with a new spare one we had. However now about every week and a half the pump gets enough air in the impeller to stop it from pumping. I'm thinking that the seal where the hose from the well connects to the pump may have a small leak in it and is sucking in a very small amount of air since it was disconnected when replacing the impeller. Any suggestions on what to check would be helpful when I go home this weekend thanks.
Why wont my deep well pump go till it reaches pressure setting? Me and my son just installed a a deep well pump. Everything seemed to check out correctly, but after about a minute or two the pump just stops. It is like it is over heating or something, yet everything that the book says to do is done, can someone please help!! 37 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details It is 50 feet, it is an above ground pump, and it is warm to the touch, but not hot, hot. I missed one thing, yes the pump is shutting off before it reaches pressure settings. The set up I have is two pipes. It uses one pipe for pulling up the water and the other pipe is for air pressure. It is suppose to go up to 90 feet wells The pump seems to pump about 3 gallons, and then shuts off. In about 20 minutes or so it pumps the same amount and shuts off again
Could there be something wrong with the check valve in my deep well pump? Our deep well pump was cycling on and off about every 40 seconds. The well is 250 ft. deep. Many people suggested draining the water holding tank to make sure it was not water logged. We drained the tank, put the pressure to 38 psi. The cycling on and off still continued. It stays off for 35 seconds then on for one minute and 15 seconds. Then we turned off the main water inlet valve in order to isolate the pump and the water tank from the house. Somone had suggested that on our first question. After we turned off the main water inlet valve to the house, the cycling continued. Any suggestions as to what it could be? If it is a check valve, is that something someone could repair on their own?
cannot get my new deep well water convertible jet pump to prime? my well is 72 ft. deep, approx. 40 years old. have been using shallow well pumps,3/4 hp., the whole time with great results. Lawn sprinkler repair man replaced with convertible deep well jet pump, also he installed "short" venturi tube into ejector. {shallow well pump bit dust during freeze, not winterized properly}. We cannot get pump to pick up prime. I have filled 72 ft. pipe full of water and filled primer plug hole with water, I can place hand over pipe and feel strong suction when pump is running, so i feel like pump is providing good negative pressure to system...but prime will not pick up. Pump motor is set to correct watt/amp of 115. Air tank is new with pressure set at 18 lbs., pressure switch is 20-40psi {basically irrelevent at this point} Things I'm not sure of: 1- If well ran dry 2-If pipe has deteriorated/has a hole. 3- what is at bottom of 40 yo pipe...footvalve? screen? ect. 4- if well collapsed {won't prime, so don't know if sediment is present.What should I do at this point? Well is only used for lawn sprinkler system. House is on city water. Only 1 pipe exits ground going to pump with one inline brand new brass check valve. Repairman suggests installing pvc pipe down inside steel pipe {72 ft.} at a cost of $300.00 bucks. I figure water should be located first. I live in Tidewater, Va., and I believe we are in some form of a drought, we are 7 inches shy of water according to news orgs. Any suggestions or information will be greatly appreciated.

Need help on how to extract deep well pump with nothing attached to it and staying in place twenty feet down? we just recently replaced our well pump, the pump quit working or so we thought, we checked power to it, there was power to it and it wasn't pumping. after checking some more we found that plastic pipe had come loose from the steel pipe it was connected to at the top so the pump and hose had dropped down about twenty feet pulling the wire apart from the motor at the top. We tried extracting the pump with the rope that we had tied to the motor and it broke. The top of the pipe is about twenty or so feet down because I can see it. Is there anything we can do at this point or a well service that can get the pump or pipe out. It remains in place and did not drop all the way down. Please anyone

Deep Well Pump 220v - 1 phase normal amps, other spiking high - no visible shorts - could it be the pump? Should I keep looking for a short.....Pump runs with good pressure until breaker blows of course. Good 220v at switch - 110v on each phase. Can a pump or 220v motor fail showing this symptom or "keep looking for the short? Thank you! First, thank all of you for your time. The torque scenario makes a lot of sense and the seal leak also makes great sense. Normal amp draw is approx. 6amp. The switch is good for sure. I swapped the phase from one side of the switch to the other and the short (amp spike) followed, verifying the short is in the well. If all of you are correct, then it's likely that my pump is OK and the abrasion from the torque over time rubbed the insulation and is causing the short. If you feel I missed something please clarify, but again, I can't thank you enough for your time. I'll be sure to keep you posted as to the result. Now I have to pull the pump (40' -ouch) and look for the abrasion. Peace Mark G....Thanks....I think you are right on and obvious a very nice person. Mark G, I found the short half way down the well from rubbing/abrasion. Pulled the pump, replaced the wires and it's working perfect. Thank you for you advice!!!! Keith O

What is wrong with my deep well submersible pump system once again? I have a 375 ft submersed well and pump system. I can get water but every so often the pressure totally falls to zero (at the pressure gauge) and the water stops for about 5 min. then the system cuts back on and everything is fine. The pump is only 2 years old and I just replaced the pressure switch (30/50). the tank is fine and holding pressure at about 27 lbs of air in the bladder. What do you think the cause could be? I'm thinking an electrical short? Some blockage in the line? the water runs very clean.....could it be a sticking foot valve?? (I hope not)..please help! BTW when I replaced the pressure switch, it took about 5 min after I turned the breaker on for the pump to start again.....some more info: when the pressure gets to 30 lbs on the gauge, and when the pump is suppose to kick on, the pressure switch clicks, but the pump doesn't turn on for a min or 5.

Thanks for your help! here's more info....when the pressure get to 30 lbs on the gauge, and when the pump is suppose to kick on, the pressure suddenly drops to 0. It doesn't short cycle or run abnormally at all. It always seems normal except when the pressure falls out for the 5 min. period. Finally when we first started having this problem back in May, when I initially checked the pressure in the tank it was at 46 or so lbs.. so I deflated it (with all water out of the system) and refilled it back to about 29 lbs. I'll get a true reading later today and set it at 27 lbs.
How do you prime a 400 ft. deep submersible Sta-Rite Well pump? My pump stopped working, so I took the start capacitor to the store to be tested. It was weak. It has been replaced and re-connected and still puts out no water. The pump was purchased brand new in 2002, 6 years ago.

Just got a deep-well antique hand pump like in the park...is there any possible way to use it in shallow well? m Steven...that's not the only difference. A deep well hand pump pushes water up from below....shallow water sucks water up from above...last feet of deep well suck rod is encased in wood (bobs in water) to provide help in pumping...and well pipe is actually pipe within pipe. shallow well is just one pipe. So, your answer needs a little revision, wouldn't you say? Can you help or not?
Well pumps and depth of pipe into ground? My deep well pump was replaced by a new shallow well pump that I purchased. The depth of the pipe into the well is 50 ft. The new shallow well pump loses its prime. The water level is about 15 ft. Do I need to cut off the 50 ft pipe to 20 or 25 ft. One guy said it didn't matter, that it is only lifting the water 15 ft, where the water level is. I bought the pump and tank myself, now I can't get a well driller company to come out and help me. The job is too small. I am a retired widow and I thought my handyman could do the job but he has given up. My lesson in this is to buy from someone that installs. It is hard to get an expert to solve a problem when they are not making a sale on the equipment.
I'm having problems with my well pump....? I have a deep well and my pump is screwing up. After I prime it, it seems to pump the water into the tank fine, but then the pump cuts off and the water is forced back down the well. And, I have to start all over again. Can anyone give me some ideas?
I installed a 1hp pump in a 110 feet deep well and all worked for a year. The pump stopped abruptly.? I checked the wiring and have 220 at well cap, but NO amps being drawn. I assume a wire has failed or the pump is dead. Is pulling the pump the only way to diagnoose the problem? I received a lot of good suggestions. Thanks. A few more details. The pump is set 10-12 feet off the bottom of the well. I have released air from the tank to try to trip the pressure switch and have manually pressed the contacts on the pressure switch. I was very careful when splicing the wires to the pump and cleaned the wires before heating the shrinks, I installed anti-torque device and spacers every 20 feet or so. Does anyone know what the resistance should be across the wires going to the motor that might tell me whether the motor is shorted or a wire is open.
what is the max lift capacity of my shallow well pump? i have a drilled well 8 inch diameter casing, it is 35 feet deep. what is the maximum lift capacity of my shallow well pump, it is a goulds 1/2 hp jet pump
How can you pump water from a well deeper than 33 feet? If a pump creates a vacuum, you will have 1 atmosphere pushing the water up. But an atmosphere is 33 feet of water pressure. Hence the question.
