brass/pvc stuff is actually horizontal to surface, right? looks fine to me.

at first I saw it as some strange under ground thing and was trying to figure out why you were plumbing into a horizontal 4 inch sewer pipe under your house and how in the hell that pvc sucker pipe was going to last hanging at a 90 degree angle. and how deep your well was.

that black PE pipe you are calling well hose in the picture, we just call ranch pipe and generally you have to use a welder to put good metal fittings onto that stuff. clamps and plastic don't work for any kind of pressure. especially the thicker stuff. I don't know of any glues that work with it either. last project we did a guy let us borrow his but irrigation supply companies will rent them.
