Wells Pumps Installation Services.

Over the years galvanized pipe tends to rust, but the PVC will keep the well intact for many years to come.

At the top of the wellhead which is a tee fitting, there is a stainless steel screen inserted in the tee to prevent debris from the well jams the check valve that holds the water in the plumbing system intact when the jet pump is not running.

A check valve is a brass or plastic valve; if debris gets into the check valve, then all the water will drain from the pump and tank back into the well.

The average jet pump average is from two horsepower to three-quarter horsepower depending on the demand; some water filtration systems can reduce the pressure in a house a larger jet pump handle this problem.

In a primary water filter system, there is a water softener that prevents the calcium and iron entering into your house and causing water stains on your glasses and damages the water heater and appliances in your kitchen.

A simple method to check and see if there are iron deposits in your water.

Take the lid of the toilet and look inside if the toilet tank has a rust color on the porcelain inside the tank. Then iron is coming into your house. The types of iron filters are green sand and prolix filters. If your house water as a rotten egg smell it has sulfur and bacteria in the well.

The only way to get rid of the bacteria is to injected with a slight solution of chlorine or peroxide with an injection pump and a neutralization tank. These water filter systems need to be understood by the homeowner and able to do simple maintenance to keep the units in operational condition.

Some companies provide salt and maintenance on the systems once a month so the homeowner would not need to worry about the upkeep.
