Water Well System Operation

A Drilled Well

A drilled well consists of a hole bored into the ground, with the upper part being lined with casing. The casing prevents the collapse of the borehole walls and prevents surface or subsurface contaminants from entering the water supply. The casing also provides housing for a pumping mechanism and for the pipe that moves water from the pump to the surface.

A Well Cap

On the top of the casing should be an “approved” well cap. A properly installed well cap separates potential pollutants from your drinking water. It should fit snugly so debris, insects, or small animals can’t find their way into the well system.

A Submersible Pump and Motor Installed at the Bottom of the Well

The submersible pump is controlled by a pressure switch. It’s a small electrical control unit that senses the pressure in the system and switches the pump on and off.

A Pressure Tank

The pressure tank allows the pump to run occasionally instead of every time a faucet is opened. The basic system is often enhanced, either by necessity or for improved performance, with a constant pressure delivery system. However, the drawing above represents the most common equipment combination.

Water Well Upgrades

Many older wells were constructed before construction codes existed and have expansion tanks that do not have liners or are too small for the pump system they are servicing. These wells were installed before there were concerns about efficiency and contamination.

With a quick visual check and maybe a head pressure check on your pump, we could make recommendations that we feel would make your system more efficient and cost-effective. We will explain the benefits to you or tell you if your system is sufficient for your needs by today’s standards. If you have any doubts about your system, give us a call or fill out the contact us section for a visit and consultation.
