I want to thank all who responded and made excellent recommendations. I got the job done today in less than an hour and saved myself $1800.00!! I tried pcmc's idea slightly modified.

What I did was hook up a 6.5 hp shop vac to one end of the 3" I.D. pvc pipe utilizing a .99 cent reducer from lowes to fit my shop vac.

I didn't think there was any water in the pipe but there was! I sucked out about 20 gallons of water.

Once the water was removed. I took a spool of masons line and attached it to a 2 1/2" styrofoam ball I bought at Walmart for pennies. I went to the other end of the pipe and dropped it in...that thing sucked that ball with the string through like there was no tomorrow in a matter of seconds!

Thank you all for your responses and help!! That is why I love this forum!

Happy holidays everyone!
