I'm using 1" blue poly submersible well pipe for our well pump, and the place i ordered it from has a pretty good deal on the size roll I need (500'). Is pipe that's considered submersible compatible with burying?

Got it from Aqua Sciences.net, a plumbing supply house. Yeah, it's rated for 200# and is NSF Certified - ANSI/AWWA C901. https://www.aquascience.net/industries-submersible-poly-pipe-200psi-1-diameter I'll call them. Per the Menard's ad, those are only 200' rolls and I don't want any splices that I don't have to have. Also, our local Menard's (10 miles away) is bad about stating that they have stuff in stock, then don't even carry it at the store. (Ex.- 18" dual wall conduit-not even a rack for it there. Cherne 6" inflatable block ball- checked their site and it said they had them. Got to the store and they had 3" and 4", but said the 6" is a "special order" and would take A MONTH! to get one in.)

One run from the well to the garden hydrant will be 360', via the house, and then I need the rest for a utility tank and the route to a future shop. 500' will cover that without any splices. Besides, they ship for free and it comes to my front door. Thanks, though. Lee

I am bothered that the description of the pipe does not say SIDR and does not say ASTM 2239. Those are the same thing pretty much, and are a size standard for piping that connects to the standard barbs. The description has a lot of specs for the plastic, but not the size. It may go without saying, but does it really go without saying?

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
