allows the well to be filled with water
when priming and makes the inlet pipe
much easier to test for leaks. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions when
installing the packer type foot valve.
As an alternative, an in-line check valve

can be used with a driven well (Figure
3, Illustration C). The pipe between the
check valve and the water level will
always be under a vacuum.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow
air to leak into the pipe and cause
abnormal pump operation. Make sure
to use pipe joint compound on all male
