Chapin reserves the right to not warranty any products purchased from Ebay, Amazon Warehouse, Facebook and Facebook Marketplace, Instagram, Craigslist and any other private and third party selling sites. It has a 5 year warranty but only if you buy it from them at a higher price. -
yes it did. I lube it with silicone grease but the friction on pumping has become impossible. I need a new pump. Thanks for all your thoughts.

I’m sure the sprayers aren’t built locally for the company. And they won’t have a bunch of parts for said sprayers on hand. Their not in the business of selling parts just whole system and don’t want a bunch of spare parts laying around. They don’t have to hire a parts man and don’t need to keep a parts inventory on hand. It’s cheaper and easier to just ship out a new one at your cost. sad as it is at least their standing behind the warranty by sending a new one to you. -
The 2' bury will work fine. The freeze depth may be different there than here anyway, especially since no one stocks the one foot bury. The bury depth is not critical. They just have different length pipes and it doesn't really matter exactly how much sticks out above ground other than for comfort of use. I would only use ball valves for cutoffs and not a regular faucet. There is some loss in flow from length, so better to go with 1" pipe. Any fitting smaller than that is a restriction and will slow flow. The hydrant fittings are 3/4" but that's so close to the end that there is no noticeable restriction. I put a Y1 at our garden instead of a Y34 and it can flow so much water that our well pump can't keep up. The Y34 is 3/4". I think the PEX would be fine. I have Lots of PVC in the ground here that's 44 years old and has been trouble free. Black poly is probably okay too, but I just don't like that the fittings go inside the pipe and restrict flow. Black poly is nowhere near as strong as PVC or Pex. PVC will flex a lot, but for sharper turns you just use different fittings. I have a PVC union at my well head so I can pull the pump if I need to without having to redo piping. I park the loader over the well head with a pulley on a chain attached to the bucket up in the air over the well and use the truck going backwards so I can see when the pump comes out of the well to pull it. I have the pump hanging on a stainless steel cable that goes through the block (pulley). The cable is through that pulley on a chain inside the well cover, ready to go. I can have the pump out of the well in five minutes including setup. I get Pam to handle the pipe as it comes out and back in.
