Post your water well and pump questions

Hi Tim, its actually somewhat coincidental, I had a pit to pitless conversion on Friday. First things first, you have to check with your local DNR regulations to see if you can do this work yourself. As with anything well related it needs to be done with the end game being safe water. If your well becomes contaminated it could threaten your waters safety your neighbors and could ultimately mean the well needs to be redrilled. That being said, in Wisconsin all well pits are illegal because they act as a conduit for contaminating the well. The code here states that the casing needs to be at minimum 12" above grade.

You will need to remove the pump,
find a way to prevent sparks from going down the casing,
weld a new piece of casing on to extend above outside grade weld in the adapter receiver.
The casing needs to be straight, this can be achieved with a level and a hand grinder
When you purchase your adapter you will get a male and a female part. The male part screws on to your drop pipe, use thread sealant, my favorite is jet lube v2
Make it tight and screw a piece of drop pipe on top of it (don't crank it, just snug)
Use whatever system you used to get it up to lower it down and set the adapter. The well should be chlorinated, there are pellets made for this.

Hook the wires up, check for leaks and then remove the top piece of drop pipe and put the well seal back on.

When you're tackling the pit, we typically drill many holes through the pit so that it drains and add in clean fill dirt. This can be done in concrete but its expensive.

I have to say anything you do here is at your own risk, and I recommend having this level of work done by a licensed tech. They will inspect your system and keep it sanitary. But that's the process. Hope that helps.

The Pros and Cons of PVC for Water Well Installations

Drillers have installed wells using PVC materials for decades. Companies make PVC casing and fittings, and even PVC screen &#; the components of the whole well system. However, advancements over time have meant that PVC in the field today outperforms the materials contractors had access to when HDPE gained widespread use in the s.

Broadly, the &#;recipes&#; companies use to make polyvinyl chloride, better known as PVC, have gone through subtle changes. Contractors may not know from just looking at the finished product, but today&#;s PVCs tend to have more corrosion resistance and durability than earlier generations. That makes it a cost-effective option for well installations, even in harsh environments.

Modern PVC pipe can also provide more flexibility. &#;Flexible&#; PVC is a type of PVC designed to install in wells located in difficult-to-access areas. Flexible PVC is also more resistant to breakage, which can help to prevent leaks in such wells.

Finally, there have been advancements in the methods used to join PVC pipe. Traditional methods of joining PVC pipe, such as solvent cementing, can prove time-consuming for contractors and difficult correctly execute. Newer methods of joining PVC pipe, such as mechanical joining, are faster and easier to do. Mechanical joining also provides a stronger and more reliable joint than traditional methods.

The advantages of using PVC materials in water well construction include:

  • Strength and durability: PVC pipe can withstand the harsh conditions found in many wells. It resists corrosion over time.
  • Environmental friendliness: PVC pipe does not contain any harmful chemicals that can leach into groundwater. PVC materials can also be recycled at the end of their life.
  • Ease of installation: PVC pipe is relatively easy to install, which can save time and money on the well construction project.
  • Cost-effectiveness: PVC materials are a cost-effective choice for water well contractors versus other materials.
  • Long life: PVC materials offer a long life, and they can help to ensure a long and trouble-free life for your well.

Of course, every material can have trade-offs. PVC is no different and contractors should consider these factors in sourcing decisions. PVC is:

  • Strong, but not as strong as steel: PVC may not be a good option for applications with very high water pressure or the potential for a lot of ground movement.
  • Not as chemical resistant: PVC is susceptible to damage from chlorine and ammonia. The former can make PVC brittle and the latter can cause it to swell or deform.
  • Not as easy to repair: A leak in a PVC well may prove more difficult or expensive to repair versus other materials.

PVC pipe, casing and fittings have proven popular for contractors (and their customers) for many years. Their popularity only grows as companies develop advances in their products. Drillers have materials options when it comes to well installation. PVC has improved over time and contractors should give it another look if they haven&#;t in a while. It could be just the thing you need to offer your customers a trouble-free water well that lasts a lifetime.
