Interesting how different parts of the country lays out their wells. I'm in central valley California and most of the older wells like mine use the tall 100-150 gallon tanks. Rarely do we see tanks under crawl spaces. Some wells and tanks are in a well house, others like mine are out in the open. We insulate exposed pipes but rarely get freezing below 10°F. No problems in 25 years with freezing. I feel so fortunate to have a 40+ yesr old well that produces plenty of clear water.

Well, I just found this switch part and guess what! One of yhe comtacts had broken off somehow and come loose! That's why my water stopped. I just pulled it out, and it fell on the floor and possibly down the well 🤦🏻‍♀️ is there a way to order that part or do I have to get thr whole thing replaced?

Where does the check valve go? Directly on the pump? Or the fitting goes on pump, then the check valve? Can the connect directly to each other or should there be a space of pipe between them? If the pump is 1.25 inch fitting, do you reduce all yours down to use 1 inch pipe? Thank you

Actually, your method for calculating the well production rate is spot on. In normal operation it is the amount of replacement rate that determines the outcome for the home owner. Home owners do not have the time or ability to balance usage to determine what rate their well has. It has, as you measured it, the rate that it will replenish the water removed. 4.25 gpm is correct. They fill at full speed all the water troughs for the animals and then shut it off. The well refills to static at the rate, just as you measured it, while no pump is running and no major flow going into the house. 👍

I love the pump setup.. can't beat a Bean Triplex pump. Bigger version of what we use for diamond drilling, my grandpas old pumps were similar with engine and transmission set up similarly. I've built a few single speed versions for what we do, max 500 PSI but rarely do they ever need to put out more than 125. Little Bean E04 quads with small single cylinder motors. Nice for bush work, weighs less than 150 pounds and itll pump water a mile up a hill. Or if the pump on the rig fails, its a good backup.

I see no reasons to why we had to switch to these type of tanks and get rid of the old style pumps, except greed, the old style would run 40 years and still run like new, we just never had trouble with those things.

I've never understood why a bore pump is used as a pressure pump in the states, because they aren't designed for that. Here in Aus we have a bore pump varying anywhere from 5lpm right upto 12lpm that pumps into a 20,000ltr tank and then a pressure pump is used to supply the house/buildings. I guess freezing temps is the only thing that comes to mind.

@@adamcoffee738 I’m not sure why you say that a submersible well pump is ‘not designed’ to pressurize a pressure tank. The manual and specs for my well pump suggest otherwise. And I have no need for any kind of storage tank; my 100 ft (33 m) deep well produces water faster than I will ever use it. You’re suggesting I should install an expensive storage tank and a jet pump I don’t need for what purpose exactly? To save wear on my well pump? I just replaced my well pump; it had been in service for 38 years.

Fellow Aussie here. I believe a lot of the states in the USA view water as a natural resource and as such, the storage of it requires a license. At least it seem to be the case for storing more than 110Gal of rain water, not sure about well water (or as we call it, bore water).

@@askmyteapot Why would you want to store thousands of gallons of water for a home, anyway, unless your well is unreliable? All that water’s being stored cool and clean in the aquifer and will be there when you need it.

When you consider the well head static pressure of say 500 feet which works against the inflow rate, you could have twice that flow if the static level were pulled down to near the depth of the stream inflow.
