I know it is not a construction question but, I recently replaced my deep submersible pump in an 82 ft. deep well. The pump was not running and air is coming out of the top of the well in a small hole in the metal cap that seals the 10" pvc pipe casing that goes down the well. It is like a small jet or stream of air........the plumber who works on wells could not figure it. No pump running, no water being drawn, no real water being added either other than what comes in naturally. I assume it is at a level in the well and so that there is no rise..... The well also has about a 3" diam. 'p" garavel around the pvc...... I am stumped.... john
