I've got an offer in on a property. The current owner knows very little about the well, location, depth etc. He's only owned the property for 5 years so has probably never had to deal with it. I did notice that he's using a convertible jet pump mounted on the pressure tank. The pump hasn't been converted so I'm guessing this tells us that the well is no deeper than 25'. We had the water tested for potability and Public Health gave it the all clear. The current owner also tells us that he had it tested annually and never had any issues.
Should I be concerned with possible drinking water quality issues with this well? Should I be taking precautionary measures such as a UV water sanitizer? Anything else I should be concerned about regarding the well if I proceed with this purchase?
