Stock watering

Submersible for stock watering

They are installed on 1 inch black plastic, or 1 inch galvanized pipe, or 1 inch solid plastic in 21 foot joints. Those on one inch black plastic use safety rope attached to pump. Tape with electrical tape every 5 feet the wire & safety rope. The lower clamps should be taped also. Wires should be crimped with crimping tool and heat shrink tube applied over connection. Since they are not used with pressure tank & therefore aren't protected from cold, they need weep holes about one foot to 1.5 feet below top.

1.  Keep oiled, they all leak after a few month operation. ( heavy weight oil recommended)

2.  Keep tail pulled in about 1/2 way-- no need to run wide open.  Wind may come up when you aren't around to shut it down.

3.  No pump reasons

     A ). Leak in pipe

     B).  Bad leathers, bad check valves , or plunger valve, or worn/ dirty cylinder

     C).  Not in water far enough, at least ten feet recommended .

      D) broken pump rod

      E) broken trolley ( rod out), broken trolley drive mechanism.

4.   In cold areas, weep hole important plus rod relief if weep hole stopped up and rod freezes --- prevents damage to tower rod or head.

5. Redundant check valve by installing cylinder( with good check valve ) with no plunger at end of active cylinder.  Good for dirty wells.
