Im hoping to get a further understanding of how my well is performing and maybe get some recomendations on what options i have to improve the well performance in the future.
Well Driller left a sticker in 1989 - 66 ft deep with 63 foot of casing. I have a 2 foot tall casing in the yard that has a cap. I removed the cap and can see a 1 inch pipe down the casing - dropped a weighted string down the 1 inch pipe and its 5 foot down and stops - I assume thats a pittless adapter and the 1 inch pipe is to pull the well pipe out. Inside the basement a 2" horizonatal pipe comes through the wall 4 inches and has a 1/2 hp BURKS Model 5HNA hanging on the stub - connected to the stub with a packer adapter (I think). On the discharge of the pump a TEE supplys water to the house and has a bladder tank mounted on the top of the tee. The pump switch is a 20/40 and the bladder tank has 38 psi. The BURKS is delivering 6 gpm (measured running)
BURKS PUMPS Questions?
Can anyone here tell me where to get a 5HNA -PUMP TECH MANUEL or Identify the pump? How does this pump work? What type of pump is this? What is that casing adapter do on this pump (see pictures below).
Here are some of my observations
The pump on time from stop is less than a minute and when the use point is shut off the pump shuts off within 15 seconds.
In the future - Id like to get more pressure out of the system, as well as some more flow - We have 9 use points and I'm thinking this system could be updated. I plan on getting a weighted string back in the casing to find out the water level and and my suction lift on this system.
