How to Handle
a Gaseous
Well
In some areas well water
contains
gases
which
must
be at-
lowed
to escape
before
the water
is used. This can be done
as shown
in Figure
18.

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
system.
In such cases, install
a Captive
Air* Tank. It does not require
any air control.
