CHARLIE'S PUMP AND WELL SERVICE

As a result of muliple 22 firings (more than 20), I believe the well pipe was penetrated and filled with fine sand. When the pipe was removed it had about 30" of sand plugging the pipe above the foot valve. Multiple leaks in plumbing when pressured (he never stayed until pressure was reached to check it), excessive charges for plumbing and kept parts that were replaced. He charged $600 for connecting pump and shocking well and offered to drill new well for $1200, which I got done and hooked up for $850.

We are having trouble with our sprinklers which is supplied by a well. We want to eliminate the well pump as the source of the problem since the discharge pressure was reading 0. Leonard came out and spent a few minutes looking at the pump and ran it. He said the pump was working okay and told us the discharge pressure gage needed to be replaced. He didn't have one on hand. There was a leak on the pump so he spent a minute tightening down on the casing clamp, but that didn't stop the leak. I ended up replacing the pressure gage myself, and later figured out (on my own) that the leak is actually coming from the mechanical shaft seal...which I also ended up replacing myself. I paid $135 for nothing.
