My neighbors well head is about 50' from my back porch, normally I can't hear it, was sitting outside a month ago smoking a cigar and I hear water blasting for 20 minutes... decide to go investigate, we shut the pump off and pulled it.
One of the very established well companies in our area installed a new pump for them last year. They put the brass tee with a electrical conduit plug that had stripped threads. Then then taped it on for good measure. Mind you they ran new pex to both sides of the tee and it was completely unnecessary for it to be there in the first place.
I called the well company and explained this was the most pathetic attempt at contracting I had ever seen. The office lady tried to tell me that maybe the client didn't want to pay for the additional part. I explained to the office lady that if the client just paid for a new well pump for their 500k house.... im pretty sure they would be willing to put in a $2 pvc fitting.
This wasn't stupid I think it was unethical and a way to get a call back for a "$700 repair"
