Those are the exact inserts that I've used. Here's the clamps: clamps

I'm not too keen on buying from Amaz... so if you know of any other source
for these clamps let everyone know. I have installed two clamps per insert
and did rotate them as indicated. That just seemed like good practice at
the time. When installing the pipe onto these I used a camp stove and a pot
of boiling water. Stick the end of the pipe in the boiling water for a
little bit and they go on nicely. If it gets hard part way, I stick the
pipe end and insert both into the boiling water to finish the job.

I think I will not need any more inserts or clamps for this job, it looks
like the pitless adapter is the problem. I'll pull the pump tomorrow and
see if I can just replace the o-ring in it or if it needs something more.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Brad
