Leaking well?

Water can wear away at the material over time once the leak starts.. I'd replace the fittings at this point rather than tray to fix them with tape and pipe dope.

Plumber is going to be $120 just to show up, plus parts and time but should not be very costly.

Wow. That sure looks rusty. I couldn't see any galvanizing. Would PVC fittings be better? It almost looks like it will take a torch to heat things to get them apart.

I don't understand. Where is the crank and the bucket?

UUUHH Dean , the fitting that's leaking IS pvc/cpvc . Probably fatigue cracking due to vibration . Since it's fairly new , the OP should be able to replace the union and fittings needed to fit the tee with off the shelf parts .

Agree. Cut off the PVC wherever necessary, that's probably on the other side of the union. Then replace it all with new PVC, use teflon tape on the threads into the steel tee.

The tee that is connected directly to the well head is galvanized and all other parts are pvc. The female threads of the galvanized tee look worn when I took the pvc male out to add pipe dope. Would that need replacing as well? I feel comfortable replacing the PVC pieces .. I'm just unsure of the galvanized tee since I know the well pump is hanging from something here and I probably shouldn't touch 😅

The threads on the steel tee look worn... Do you think it will also need replacing? And would that be something I could do myself. I know the pump hangs from something but I'm not sure what. I'm comfortable replacing all the pcv components... But want to be sure before touching the steel piece lol

Well (!) I don't know about yours , but my submersible pump is suspended by a steel cable ... from your pictures it appears that yours is suspended by iron pipe and that tee . Mine however is plumbed entirely by plastic pipe/tubing - and it only waters my garden , it's not our primary water supply . In your case , since you think the iron (not steel!) tee is worn , I'd say replace it - and the PVC piping at least to the union fitting . The only thing i use pipe dope for is low pressure propane fittings . Everything else gets teflon tape . Rule of thumb here , over 1" gets two turns per inch of diameter . My experience has been that transitions from PVC to metal fittings have been problematic . WARNING ! I'm not a plumber (my son is) but I did my whole house and the only leak was so minuscule I ignored it for 4 years . I finally fixed it when I had other work to do in that area under the house . ((Other than some physical labor type help , I have built/wired/plumbed this entire house with my own 2 hands))
