deep well jet pumps

Tom, I was rooting around in the overgrown brush in front of my house a couple of weeks ago. I stepped on what appeared to be a pile of old leaves that didn’t sound or feel right. I jumped back and found I had nearly broken through a sheet of rotted plywood, which was covering a 3-foot deep hole over my septic tank. Turns out the former owner (also an old duffer) thought it best to leave the top of the septic exposed and stacked three large car tires in the hole and threw a piece of scrap plywood over the top. I shudder to think what might have occurred if I had driven the tractor over this booby trap before I found it. Be careful looking for that buried wellhead!

I am having that problem with nearly everything around here, also 25-30 years old. Doorknobs, faucets, shower valves and track lighting. Good thing the cars are new and our personal parts are holding up.
Tom, ain't it amazing what people try to "save" money on? Kind of like rebuilding an engine and using the old gaskets?

I think I have a submersible pump in my well. No one can tell me for sure as the hole is almost three hundred feet deep and the pump has been down that hole for thirty years. Maybe it is time to plan a replacement before my shower becomes a dry cleaning operation too.
