The best thing to do is locate where the old pump is. You are going to need to shut the power off to the well and then pull out the old pump and install the new well pump. It is not very hard but can be time consuming and can smell like sulfur really bad.

Nobody likes a leaky fosit! Wislt not striping any screws, make sure everything is nice and tight. Have a listen to hear if anything is flowing with the end pluged. Also, it is going to get alot of water on it wether it is leaky or not. It is wise to apply a liberal amount of lubricant to moving parts.

Install a pump that is roughly parallel to the home or location that the water will be used, so that you do not need a second pump to get the water up to the house. Drill down toward the bottom of the aquifer, so that if the water level drops you don't have to drill a second time.

Well to install a well pump you have to know how deep it is that you will be making it. Then you have to specify the area and make sure the air pressures are in align with the pump.
