They called me out because somehow the cobra split and there was water coming out form underneath the stairs. I had to go at it carefully with my hand sledge and chisel and chip as much concrete out as I could w/o cracking the stairs.

Looks like they still make them. Do any of you use them? I thought they were nifty when they first came out. I'd hate to have to service any jobs where I installed them now.

I used 'em when they first came out. Unfortunately they are prone to clogging if debris gets into them.

New discoveries! K-Rain indexing valve mounted in mid-air (see next post for why).

And here's why: pump and well about 10 ft. down in a pit.

Anyone care to guess why the driller would do such a thing?

So he could prime the pump without bending over?

Take another look (and guess) - no way to prime this without the help of a stepladder...

for the same reason a blue whale's throat is the size of a dinner plate.

Looks like he had to elevate from the norm.
