Pumping Basics for Deep Wells
If
water is less than 300 ft down: You need four
basic components to raise water from these depths.
1) The pump-head is the part you see above
ground and provides the pumping action. Ours work
on any well (dug or drilled). Some can be used with
windmills.
2) The cylinder is the heart of the system.
It contains the valves and leathers or seals that
provide the lift. Place in well below water level.
Most work best with a foot valve. The cylinder you
choose must fit into your well casing.
3) The drop pipe extends from the pump to the
cylinder. We recommend galvanized steel or PVC (Plastic).
(Steel is the traditional favorite, but plastic is
less expensive, much lighter and will never rust.)
4) The pump rod runs from the pump to the cylinder
inside the drop pipe. It provides the linkage that
transfers the pumping action from pump-head to cylinder.
All our deep well components are USA made to the highest
standards.
For pumping from 9'-300' use our Stainless Pump
Head w/Cylinder Set, or for pumping from 0'-100'
you can use our "Good” Deep Well Pump
Head w/Cylinger set.
