Strongly recommend attaching a rope to pipe below pitiless adapter. This can help retrieve pipe if the tool to remove pitiless adapter comes loose or pitless adapter breaks.

Thank you so much! I am 74 years old but never to old to learn something new. I probably won't be trying it myself but I like to know what I am paying for. I might have tried it myself but it is 206 degrees outside. Thanks again!!!!

FYI....It is called a pitless adapter, and you should put silicone grease on the O-ring before you put the pipe back into the well and reconnect the pitless adapter.

great video! this gives me the courage (lol) to attempt pulling mine on my own because my pump lost prime and i suspect the foot valve. thanks!

Great video, lots of good information in a short video just what I like. Thank you

This is awesome. Well guy upgraded me to a pitless years ago. I forgot how they come out. Thanks!

Thanks....Its a lot better with the music playing.

A couple thoughts. 1. You have to be pretty careful when you get the pipe loose from the Quick disconnect - say its deeper than you realized and the pipe is galvanized iron pipe (and its likely full of water). That can be a lot of weight and the person pulling might loose control and mash their hands as the T of removal tool hits the top of the well casing.. A second person with a pipe wrench on the tool might keep from loosing control. 2. I cringed as I saw him with the pipe and the quick disconnect over the open well casing without the removal tool already attached. What if he dropped it in the casing before attaching the tool. Big problem. Be safe, assume s..t will happen.

Wow, you made that look easy..Great job 👍👍💚

Thanks for the insight I just had a failure with my well

I'm enjoying the music. I don't have a well but maybe one day..hahah

Thanks for the video! Very informative and helpful. I really hope my problem is not the foot valve….

How does that other end opposite of the foot valve lock in place?

I'm thinking that you should have fixed the leak in the pipe that leads to the house first because that leak could have been causing a loss of prime and pressure. Might not have had to change the foot valve.

How much was the tool and where did you get it ? Thank you so much for your video it was very informative 😊

Thank You!

great work now i do not need a plumber anymore

Did You have to unscrew the pipe that's going into the house? Will the actual well pipe come out without you digging down into the ground and removing that pipe? I'm having the same issue I can't keep prime in my pump's going to burn up I just need to know if I have to unscrew that area where you said you had a leak first or can I just pull that pipe up once I get access to it with that tool The t-bar tool?

Not a bad DIY job. My jet pump turns on about every 20mins so I think I should change my foot valve as well. Do you remember the diameter of the removal tool? Also is it just standard NPT?

Great information. Thanks for posting this video!

Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic video!!

Great video. We have had a lot of rain for the past couple months. Last week we had yet another bad storm. Our power clicked off and then back on before the whole house generator kicked on. Later I noticed air coming out of faucets before water. I figured it was because of the power being clicked off in the storm. Then we noticed rust in the water. Now I still have air four days later but the rust is gone. Some suggest foot valve. Some say it's probably because of lightening hitting well casing and knocking the rust off. Any ideas? Our closest well company is about 130 miles away. Thanks!

None of the new foot valves come with the pipe coupling like they did 4 yrs ago when I replaced it so now you have to buy a coupling also.

Thanks great info! Are you using PVC pipe?

Thank you so much!!!! Great video!!!

How do you know you are not driving the foot valve into the mud? How do you know where you are at with regard to the bottom of the well? 1' above bottom? 3' above bottom or 10' above bottom? what is the recommended height above bottom???

Hi Gerard,in process of replacing foot valve, While taking out pipe , the foot valve dropped in borewell, currently stuck. please suggest the way to take out the old foot valve since it is blocking us from extending water supply pipe. help help

my moms well jet pump slowly loses pressure after 5 mins pump kicks on at 20 then stops at 50 and repeats every 5 mins would that be a check valve or a foot valve and how would i know where check valve is if it is in pump?

Most of the wells are like this one?

Thank You

What should you charge to change a foot valve on a well

did you have to prime the line to get water to pump?

My electric went off for a few hours. When it came back on the water didnt work. We tried to prime it last night but the pump just makes a humming sound, then cuts off and on and off.. any suggestions??

How do you know if it's the foot valve.. I had a leak in my hose and when I fixed the leak I lost my pressure...then nothing . now it won't prime... Up until this point it was fine with lots of pressure Pumps about 20yrs old

How do you get foot valve that is broken off in deep well casting

How deep was your well? Did changing the foot valve work?

What is that removal tool called?

Hot Fucking Jorma! Nice soundtrack dude :)

Hose clamps on the drop pipe??

Should have lift up and down to prime drop leg.

How to service a 160 foot motor

Where did you find this tool? I am looking online but it doesn't look like that.

Where is your pump while you're doing this??

what's the size of the tool removal?

What if the foot valve is leaking?

How many meters your deep well?

John 14:6 Jesus saith I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father except by me.

That is nasty water. You should use city water instead.

Very annoying 'music'. Not needed.

Mine is 140 feet deep same problem...
