I've got a dug well that I would like to put a working pitcher pump on
for mostly aesthetic/conversation purposes. . . and would also like to put a working shallow well pump on to wash cars & such. The well is about 3' in diameter, and the water is 8' below grade- 15 feet or so water in the well. I've drained it several times with a sump pump and it refills fairly fast. Can I just drop a 1 1/4 plastic pipe into the well with a check valve on the end, then 'T' it to the 2 pumps? My inclination is to drop 16' of pipe- that will keep me 7-8 feet above the bottom of the well, but give me plenty of water to work with. It is currently covered with a 4" slab of concrete with a 3" PVC plug in the middle for access. I could drop 2 pipes through the hole if there is an advantage to keeping things separate, but a single pipe just seems easier. Thanks, Jim |
