Resin joint on well pump

[Mikegh]

Hi all. I'm fitting a resin joint on a well pump flex so the joint will be left in a vertical position and probably submerged ?
How long after making the joint could I safely lower the pump down ?thanks
Im used to joints on the flat in trenches so wasn't sure on this one thanks again

Submersible pump running dry will overheat, cook it's windings, and then it certainly should trip it's RCD.

Is it a submersible or a borehole?

Dunno the term

It fits down something like an 8" diameter well pipe

It's cylindrical shape stainless steel finish

It's a borehole pump. The top half is the motor, and they are usually filled with oil to keep out water, using the principle of the diving bell.
They soon overheat if the motor isn't in water.
Sure the hole is a big as 8". The one's I've fitted go down a 4" pipe.

Can't recall now could be 4 or 6

Thanks again , borehole pump sounds about right

Readings were low , unsure if it was waterogged or ran dry.Unfortunately I didn't get to see pump
