I don’t recall being around when our old well was dug, almost 30 years ago. So I had no idea what the pump looked like until this morning. This is called a “submersible pump” and it seems pretty amazing something could work under wafter that long with very few problems. Lots of videos on this topic.

In the images below Joe Greene, one of our well guys, is wiring the pump to our electric. The red faucet is what Barb uses to water her flower beds in that part of the property.

The PVC pipe on the ground in the image below is what brings the water up and into the pressure tank in our basement. I counted 19 twenty-one foot sections which gets our pump down 400 feet.
