Figure 23: Gas/Air Control in Well
HOW TO HANDLE A GASEOUS WELL
In some areas well water contains gases which must be allowed to escape
before the water is used. To deliver gas-free water suspend a pipe, closed
at the bottom and open at the top, so that it surrounds the suction pipe
inlet. (See Figure 23). Since the gases rise in the well casing, the water
sucked down through the pipe and into the suction pump 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 standard tank system. In
such cases, a pre-charged tank (which needs no air control) is recom-
mended.
