Isn't it possible to force air down the well to blow out sand, etc. ?
How about lowering a steel wire with a steel rod hooked to the end and with up and down motion- knocking and loosening the blockage in the point holes.
After that- hooking a hand pump and raising the water to the top- then removing the pump and allowing the falling water to push out blockage?
Ever hear of that being done?
Also- how do you remove that cast iron cap from the top of the wellhead? I've tried Liquid Wrench; heating it and loosening it with a wrench- but it won't budge. Do you have to heat it red hot? Mike snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com
