Well Component Comparison at a Glance
The following table highlights common parts and their intended applications within a residential or agricultural water system.
| Component Type | Primary Material | Common Use Case |
|---|
| Well Points | Stainless Steel or PVC | Driven well installation |
| Pitless Adapters | Brass or Bronze | Below-frost-line connections |
| Tank Tees | Red Brass or Steel | Pressure tank assembly |
| Foot Valves | Brass or PVC | Backflow prevention |
Well Points, Screens & Caps for Driven Well Systems
Wellhead parts screen debris at groundwater entry and help seal the casing from contamination. Available options may include:
- Well points and screens: Pointed and standard screens for driven wells, plus canal and lake screens for surface intake.
- Well caps and seals: Watertight caps, split well seals, and ABS well seals to help reduce contamination risk.
- Sizes and materials: Selections typically range from 1 in. to 6-5/8 in.
These parts often pair with well pumps when building a complete system.
Pipe Fittings & Adapters for Well and Pump Plumbing
Fittings route water between the well, pump, pressure tank, and supply lines. Feature types may include:
- Adapters and couplings: Male adapters, pitless adapters, repair couplings, and drop couplings for joining runs.
- Elbows and tees: 90-degree elbows, hydrant elbows, insert tees and tank tees for direction changes and tank connections.
- Tank manifolds and crosses: Universal tank crosses and manifolds that can support pressure tank assembly.
Valves, Gauges & Pressure Controls
Pressure and flow parts help regulate the system and protect equipment. Selections often include:
- Foot and check valves: Designed to help reduce backflow and maintain pump prime.
- Pressure gauges: Standard and liquid-filled gauges for monitoring tank and line pressure.
- Air controls and relief valves: Air volume controls, snifter valves and pressure relief valves that can support balanced operation.
Pump Components, Guards & Accessories
Parts for jet and submersible pump systems. Available options may include:
- Jet assemblies and deck kits: For jet pump repair, replacement and mounting.
- Seals, gaskets, and leathers: Mechanical seal kits, cup leathers and flat leathers for piston and jet servicing.
- Guards, splices, and filters: Snap-in cable guards, torque arrestors, heat shrink splice kits and inline sediment filters for protection and filtration.
What Size Well Point Do You Need?
Well point size depends on the interior diameter of your casing and local soil conditions. Driven wells often use 1-1/4 in. or 2 in. points, though available options may range from 1 in. to 2 in. Check casing specs and water table depth before selecting.
What Is a Pitless Adapter Used For?
A pitless adapter connects the underground water line from your pump to the well casing below the frost line. It is designed to help keep water moving in freezing temperatures and allows the drop pipe and pump to be pulled for service.
Do You Need a Foot Valve or a Check Valve?
Foot valves typically sit at the bottom of a suction line in shallow wells to help keep the pump primed. Check valves are often placed inline above submersible pumps to help reduce backflow. Many systems use both, depending on configuration.
When Should You Replace Pump Seals and Gaskets?
Seals and gaskets are often replaced when a pump leaks, loses prime, or shows reduced output. Routine replacement during scheduled pump servicing can support longer equipment life and steadier performance.
