Just had a well put in. Thoughts appreciated

I believe that he was talking about poly casing, not waterline. At this point how much would you lose if you found somebody else to install the pump? It sounds like you're dealing with a rinky outfit.

I need to address your comment about making sure the pump is open flow.

I'm pretty sure that what he meant by open flow is that there were no restrictions on the output of the pump, not that it was a type of pump. Meaning no valves or anything that could reduce the flow of water.

I believe the other way,
Poly water line, and steel casing.

Sorry for confusion. There is a steel casing already installed and I'm happy with that. Im now looking at the pick up tube from the pump to surface and am considering poly

Use poly for water line up from the pump, without a doubt!

Not to make a big deal over it, but

In my area we use a lot of 6 inch poly piping for casing...... And a lot of threaded poly for water delivery....

In my area, the smaller (i.e. private) wells are normally cased with PVC well casing which seems to be a special grade of pipe because it looks to be much heavier duty than either schedule 40 or 80. Most are 4" wells, but somewhere around 500' they change to 4.5" wells because it is a thicker wall pipe. All accommodate a 4" deep well pump. The commercial wells (i.e. 8" or so) are steel cased and when they set the casing they have a welder there to join the pipe sections.

158 feet of casing and crystal clear water which is uncommon for my area. Driller thinks I tapped into a spring.

Now I have to deal with the contract I signed authorizing them to use galvanized pipe. Didn't know at the time that poly pipe was really a better option.

They haven't installed anything and I'm assuming poly pipe is cheaper than galv steel so maybe I can talk them out of the steel.

Part of the contract also includes a bladder tank. I need the water at this point only to fill my 275 gall ibc totes so I can water the trees I'm planting. ( I have a truck/trailer/pump)

I don't plan to start the actual building process for a year or 2.

Do you guys think it wise to just put the bladder tank in storage for the time being rather than letting it sit out in the weather?

Water table is about 55 ft. Anything else I should consider installing? Might as well do it right the first time.

I need to get water down to the other end of my property eventually which is about 600 feet and then over another 300 feet ect.

People have told me to use a 2 inch pipe

Very interesting and worth considering. Id rather not have that large tank anywhere taking up space
