Verify cylinder pumps first

Shocking--Install new cylinder--no water!!

Cylinder Update When installing a new cylinder, you must check the rod / plunger interface to verify rod screwed in the proper distance & locknut tight. Also verify the nut that tightens leathers is tight. Do not ASSUME these are tight!!! Also in cold weather for instances where weep hole gets pluged, hook the rod to the rod from head with a 12 inch chain. This gives relief in case the rod coming from well is frozen.
If well is > 60 feet , cylinder used, better think twice before using old cylinder!
