Cleaning a hand dug well
Our Rigid well pump came apart yesterday and somehow
leaked a small amount of an unknown lubricant which floated to the
surface.
We tried soaking some of it
up with a towel tied to a rope, but what worked best was the half
gallon plastic pitcher we build Avian Aqua Misers with.
I think the failure was due
to suspending this type of pump instead of letting it rest on the
bottom. I was trying to avoid as much sediment as possible, but now can
see how the constant pressure of gravity was pulling at the case and
working against the original designer's intention.
