How to Remove a Deep Well Submersible Pump
If you currently use well water in your home, you already know that you have a PVC tube inside of your yard that connects a deep water pump to the water supply hose. This pump serves as mechanism to pull water from out of the well and up through the hose finally reaching the inside of your home.
What You'll Need:
- Wrench set
- T-handle bar
- Before you begin ensure that you turn off the electrical breaker that provides powers the pump.
- Find the PVC well tube. Generally, you should see a metal cap on top of the tube. Take off all of the bolts that are present to secure the metal tap onto the PVC tube. Use a wrench to complete this step. Place the tube to the side once removed.
- Begin threading the T-handle bar onto the coupler. It is mounted on the inside of the PVC tube. While the coupler will mount to the top of the water supply hose. Whichever company installed your well will have supplied you with the T-handle specific to your well. If you are unable to locate it, you’ll need to contact them to request another one.
- Pull straight up on the T-handle bar. This will disconnect the water supply hose from the intake valve that is mounted on the inside of the PVC tube. While you are pulling on the T-handle bar, you will also be pulling the water supply hose from out of the well.
- Keep pulling the T-handle bar until you have pulled the entire hose and the pump mounted to the bottom of the hose from out of the well. If necessary, request that additional people grip the water supply line to assist you with pulling.
