Thanks for all the info. The driller called me and said that we did something wrong??? The well is 955" deep, and has a schedule 120 white pipe with a submersable pump...this is the third time we have had problems with it. He assured me that with a pressure tank (about 25 gals)at the top and one in the house ( 60 gals).NO problem...he also said there was a low water level safety that would turn the pump off...???
Well, the pipe burst again at the same level as before, about 4 feet from the pump. The water goes either directly to the house, about 200feet away, then back down to an outbuilding. Or, it can go into a 4500 gal. holding tank. The water was going to the house and then down to the outbuilding. The pressure tank has lots of R-38 insulation around it and is boxed in ( he told me froze up--not that cold at that point). Then he said we must of turned it off?????
So, I told him last night to fix it now...we have spent too much $$ on this....he said no to call someone else..I said ok, I will call my attorney.....
