Hello,
I have a drilled well with a 6" x 20' steel casing. Due to shallow bedrock, the pitless adapter is installed at only 12" below grade.
That's not deep enough to prevent freezing here in Ontario.
How insane would it be to chisel down through some bedrock and sink my water line below frost depth? It's a short ~8' run from the well to my pressure tank. I'd have to install a new pitless adapter below the original and seal the old. Would removing bedrock compromise the grout seal on the casing?
