You disconnect the horizontal pipe from the vertical well pipe at the wellhead, and pull up the vertical pipe.

How do you determine the depth of a well?
Take a roll of nylon string and tie a good knot to a small weight like a fishing lead or small bolt nut then after removing the check valve or separating the pipe drop till it hits the foot valve. It will stop then. Pull out and measure string.
How do you determine if the foot valve is bad in a deep well pump or if there is a problem with the bladder tank?
When the check valve failed to seat properly at the lower unit in our well, the reserve tank would drain down quickly and then the pump would run again and again and again, . . . If you have a valve between the pump outlet and the tank you can turn it off to check operation of the tank. Most likely your valve has failed. It did this very often until we had the entire mechanism in the well replaced and installed a submersible pump. No problems since and the submersible pump is hardly audible compared to the old pump motor which was mouted near the well head in the basement. Good luck. Bob Jarnutowski bobjarn (at) hotmail.com Ans 2 - A deep well pump does not have a'foot valve' -they are only on a jet pump. You have NOT told us the exact problem. If the bladder tank is not holding water then you may have a faulty check valve on top of your deep pump. Splits in the pumpdrop line down the well are also common. -The bladder in the tank can also be faulty. -You must tell us ALL symptoms , not just ask about two things you've heard names of. Best solution - call a well tech , NOT a plumber !
What is priming in pumps?
Simply put - a pump is a device that moves fluid - generally from a lower level to a higher level against gravity. To do this - the device must already be submerged in the fluid, since it cannot pull up the fluid from a lower level to its own level and then discharge it to a higher level. This will require it then to suck air through an inlet pipe (submerged in the fluid) to create vacuum that will then pull up the fluid to it's own level. Pumps that cannot do the air sucking - needs, what is called priming. The inlet pipe is fitted with a one-way (up - only) valve, called the foot-valve, fitted at it's mouth which is submerged in the fluid. The pipe then is filled from outside with the same fluid till it tops up till the pump. The foot-valve prevents the fluid from draining away (up-only). This procedure is called "priming the pump". Once primed, the pump remains submerged in the fluid all the time unless the foot-valve leaks. Starting the pump in this condition allows the fluid to be "pumped" through the discharge pipe and all is well. Priming is done only once, till the foot valve leaks.
Hissing sound from pipes but no water from well water?
I would first check to ensure the pump is below the water level in the well. These pumps will pump air. If the pump (or foot valve) is below the water level, then I would check my pressure tank to make sure that it is not full of air.

It's easier to see and get to if you pull off the air cleaner housing which is a hassle but once you get it out of the way, you can get to the PVC valve easier. The problem is getting enough leverage to pull it loose from the connector which has a rigid pipe leading to it. It's a snug fit and you have to be able to get a good grip to pull the old one out of the hose. It's fairly easy to pull it loose from the valve cover.
