Incredible what we found in this well! We pulled this we’ll pump up that was still working! Age?

What happens here

Continue the extraction process until the submersible well pump itself, along with its motor and inlet screen, is brought entirely to the surface. Once extracted, carefully examine the pump assembly for signs of wear, damage, or heavy sediment accumulation on the inlet screen. The video shows the entire pump assembly, covered in rust and sludge, as the worker identifies the pump, its motor, and the inlet screen. The worker then proceeds to remove another section of the pipe connected to the pump, revealing a potentially less corroded part of the assembly, suggesting a different material or less exposure.

Goal: Remove and thoroughly inspect the well pump and its major components for issues.

Tools and materials

  • Heavy-duty lifting mechanism — To safely hoist the heavy well pump and piping assembly
  • Well pump — The primary component being inspected
  • Work gloves — Protecting hands during the handling of the pump and corroded pipes

>> So, it's one more piece down. >> Yeah, like that. There should be. >> So that's what a well pump looks like. >> Yeah. This is the pump and that's the motor and that's the inlet screen.
