I have a 500 foot drilled well with 120 feet of 6" steel casing surrounding 220 feet of 4" PVC casing housing a submersible which rests at 300 feet + with a 1" pipe. Static level is approx 160 feet. I am trying to install a hand pump alongside my existing electrical pump. Drop pipe for hand pump is 1 1/4", cylinder is 2". Things were going good until I dropped to 120 feet. I hit something that gives like rubber, but can't pass that point. I applied limited pressure, but was afraid to force.

Any knowledge or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
