Water Well Drilling

A well is a bored hole in the ground. Steel or plastic well casing will be placed in the bore hole to support unstable earth formations. A seal is placed at the top of the casing to prevent contamination into the well from surface water. The stable formation beneath the casing is often the water bearing zone. In this zone a screen and gravel pack may be installed depending on the formation. After completion the well is then tested for water yield. This is done by either blowing air into the well or bailing the well. Your contractor may also perform some basic water quality tests at this point. Once construction has been completed your contractor will produce a well log which acts as a blue print for both the earth formation they encountered and a build sheet for the well. With this well log a pump contractor can design your new pump system.

Submersible Pumps

A submersible pump (or sub pump, electric submersible pump (ESP) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation, a problem associated with a high elevation difference between pump and the fluid surface. Submersible pumps push fluid to the surface as opposed to jet pumps having to pull fluids. Submersibles are more efficient than jet pumps.

Solar Pumps

The days of the windmill are not yet gone. But for most customers they have been replaced by the solar pump. If you need water in a rural setting – whether for your home, your barn, or pasture – where getting electric power is cost prohibitive or if you just want to live “off grid”, then solar might be a good option for you.

Pressure Tanks

As water is pumped from the well into the pressure tank, it compresses the air in the tank until it reaches a preset level, typically the 40 to 60 pounds per square inch (psi). When someone turns on a faucet, air pressure in the tank forces water throughout the plumbing until the pressure drops to the preset trigger pressure, usually the 20 to 40 psi. That tells the water pump to turn on, and water is then drawn into the house and tank. When the faucet is shut off, pressure builds until it is restored to its default shut-off level.

Some tanks hold as little as 10 gallons, others more than 200 gallons. The most common size of pressure tanks in residential homes hold about 44 gallons and have a drawdown of about 16 gallons.
