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.
