Water Well Connections - Best Methods

   / Water Well Connections - Best Methods #21  
Pump installers install the pump beside the well on new installations because there is no "Well House" or other structure on the property, just the well head and electrical service. Some do not have a electrical service at the time the pump is installed and the pump installer will use a generator to provide power to check everything prior to leaving. The property owner then has to get a electrician to do the electrical so the builder will have water.

I think the OP would have less headaches if he would re-locate the tank to another location that will provide "Freeze Protection" and use a "Pitiless Adapter" as described in Xfaxmans post # 14. He would then only have the Well Head and the electrical connection to cover with one of the decorative landscape rocks.

Water lines and electrical would all be under ground. He could fabricate or manufacture a four of five outlet two inch manifold with inch and a quarter outlets. The master outlet manifold needs to be placed in a freeze protected enclosure on the water supply line coming from the storage tank. Back flow valves needs to be placed on the main supply line shortly after it exits the pitiless adapter and on the supply line feeding the master manifold outlet.

I hope the OP did not use PCV all the way to the pump. Pump start up torque will soon crack that. A "Torque Arrestor" and "Pipe Stand Offs" also helps to provide longevity in pump installations.

We don't use pitless adapters in my area because the danger from freezing is almost nonexistent. The setup shown in the picture works well in areas of the south where it doesn't freeze much.
