How
to Handle
a Gaseous
Well
In some areas
well water
contains
gases which
must
be allowed
to
escape
before
the water
is used.
This can be done
as shown
in
Figure
12.

A good way of.delivering
gas-free
water
is to suspend
a pipe, closed
at the bottom
:and open
at the top, surrounding
the suction
pipe.
Since
the gases
rise in the
well
casing,
the water
sucked
down
through
the pipe and into the suction
pipe is free of gas. This type
of well must
be vented
to the outside
of any enclosure.
Air
Control
in Flowing
Wells
Flowing
wells,
or wells with
little or no drawdown,
could
create
a
special
problem
in air control
in the operation
of your water
sys-
tem.
In such cases,
install
a Captive
Air® Tank.
It does not require
any
air control.
