What is a Myers Ejecto well pump?

It is what is commonly called a "Jet Pump". This is a motor connected to a pump chamber that has 2 pipes going down the well and sucks water through an 'ejector' that increases flow and brings water to the surface. This pump sits at or near the well head. - The other basic type of well pump is a "Submersible" pump. These sit down the well, deep in water and pump straight to the surface through a series of impellers.


Why is there no water coming from the well?

Assuming that the pump and the pipes are O.K.then your water level has probably dropped.ANS 2 - It is possible, but unlikely for the well level to drop unless many new people or businesses are sucking from the aquifer you are on. Many things can go wrong with pumps and well pressure tanks. If you have a jet pump (motor and pump on surface) these are very susceptible to air leaks in the pipes to well. Check this. If you have a submersible pump the control box can develop problems. -If you have an old pressure tank it can get 'waterlogged'. If you are unfamiliar with any of this hire a well technician or a local well company to check it out.


What are the 4 different types of hypoperfusion?

Think of the circulatory system as a tank with a pump and pipes. The tank is the human body, the pump is the heart, and the vessels are the pipes. You can have pump failure that causes shock - the pump just doesn't work well. Cardiogenic Shock. You can have a break in the pipe - you lose volume. Hypovolemic shock. You can have the pipes get bigger, wider. Neurological shock. You can also have a psychogenic type shock. Nothing is wrong with the pump, pipes, or volume but you see something your mind just can't handle and you faint. Neurological shock is normally an anaphalactic type response. Isolated head trauma rarely causes shock.


Why would a well cough and sputter every 6 minutes but always have a lot of water available?

How do you keep pipes from freezing during a power outage if you have a well?

Your pipes should be well insulated, but if you are still concerned, switch OFF the pump and drain the pressure tank,leaving the drain valve open. Any filters should be removed and the canisters left off.
