Shallow Well Application
- Where Suction Lift Is Less Than 25 Feet
On single pipe installations (Fig. 1) attach foot valve to the
end of the suction pipe and set in the well, making certain
the valve is below the water level. The foot valve should
at least five (5) feet from the bottom of the well to prevent
sand from being drawn into the system.
