I've had to do this occasionally and the only practical way is to dig up the pipe at house where it goes to the well then follow the direction, digging every 8-10 feet to find it. There is machinery to follow water pipes underground, but I don't think you can rent them.

How do you ground an submersible well pump?

The pump itself is going to be grounded when it is submerged. You can't ground anything any better than being in water in the ground.


How can you find your submersible water well pump if there is no pipe out of the ground?

There has to be a casing for the pump to be in. There should be something showing above ground. How is the power run to it, does that point you in a direction? Where is the water tank, where does the line coming in point to?

How do you install a shallow well jet pump?

A shallow well jet pump sits on the ground next to the well. To install it, connect tubing to the intake side of the pump and put a foot valve on the end of the tubing to control the water. Lower the foot valve and tubing into the well. Remove the drain plug on the pump and pour water in it to prime it. Replace the drain plug, connect the pump to power and turn it on.


Can you replace a shallow well pump with an above ground pool pump and will it have enough suction lift to lift the water 20ft?

Above ground pool pumps are made to sit at or below the water level, not to pull water up. If placed above the water level, or away from the pool-side they will not circulate the water properly and may not even prime. For your well, a better option is to go for an in-ground pool pump - or better still, purchase a pump made for your particular application.


Does a 110 submersible well pump need a pump start?

If it's a '2 wire pump' the starter is inside it. That has black, red and ground wires. (yes I KNOW that's 3 wires, but it's called a 2 wire pump). If it is a '3 wire pump' and has black, red, yellow and ground then it needs a 'pump control box' (starter and o/l switch) somewhere near the pressure tank.
