A CONSUMERS GUIDE TO WATER WELL CONSTRUCTION
By Oregon Water Resources Department
PURCHASING AND INSTALLING A PUMP
Well pumps are sold by pump contractors, some water well constructors, plumbing-supply dealers, and various retail outlets. The well log provides information on well diameter, depth, yield, and water level drawdown during the required well test. Using this information a pump can be selected that best matches well production and water needs. In addition, the delivery system should be sized to deliver the volume or water pumped with minimal friction loss. When installing a pump OWRD recommends using a professional pump installer who can match pump size, well production, delivery system, and water needs to most efficiently withdraw groundwater from your well.
Selecting a pump with a capacity greater than the well yield can cause problems,
such as muddy or sandy water, pump failure, or even well failure.
