I'm part way thru in getting water supply via well on our property. The well has been drilled and now we're on to the pump and associated equipment. Which brings up some questions on my part. [I don't intend to do this myself, but I'd like to be knowledgable when speaking to the contractor and I'm expected to make some informed choices and I'd like to be reasonably competent to recognize future problems.]
Some specifics on the well....
Depth: 500ft
Diameter: 6in
Static water level: ~40-50ft
Estimated flow: 4-5 gpm
-- What would anyone care to recommend wrt various above ground shutoff valves, drains, pressure gauges, relief valves, etc, etc which would provide for necessary troubleshooting, maintenance, servicing and overall monitoring of system? Not that it's been identified as a necessity, how would things change if a sediment filter was included?
-- Assuming the pump is placed towards the bottom of the well, what approach is recommended to accomodate the static water level we are seeing? Hard to say what's normal around here [SW Virginia] for static water level fluctuation between normal/dry periods...
Thanks
Mark
