    Jet pump runs constantly

    Hi all, my house came with a well setup that must have been the primary water source before they offered municipal water. House was built in the 60s. Anyway, I believe it's a deep well as there are two pvc pipes going into the jet pump, but I dont know anything about the well itself. There's...

    Can someone tell me if this thing is a well water jet pump? Or some type of old sump pump, thank you!

    Is this a water well pump? Can anyone tell me if it is safe to cut this pipe and fill the hole? Would any plumbers or HVAC people out there be able to tell me what this is? Its in my Cellar that used to be a drive under the house garage. It looks related to water, perhaps a well pump? Would it...
