How deep should I install my pump?
It is not necessary to install your emergency pump as low
as your electric pump. Most wells have the electric pump set
at 20 to 70 feet below the water level. The Simple pump can
be installed safely at 10 to 20 feet below the water level.
The pumping effort is determined by the water level and not
the pump level. Additionally, it is unlikely that the electric
pump would be used at the same time as the Simple Pump. Therefore
the water level will not be drawn down when the hand pump
is being used. If you intend to use the hand pump at the same
time that your electric is being operated, you will need to
set the Simple submersible pump cylinder at a depth that the
water level will not go below. The company last serviced or
drilled your original well should be able to recommend a depth.
Here
is a a Schematic Diagram showing how you can easily pipe the
outlet of the Simple Pump to the outlet of the Simple Pump
into your house pressure system. The hand pump can deliver
pressure to your home pressure tank. If you plan to connect
to your house pressure system, get our ready to go check valve/gauge
assembly. $59

Drop Pipe Kit:
Each kit includes 9 feet of 1" schedule 80
PVC , threaded on each end: 9 feet of 80,000 psi fiberglass
rod with stainless steel ends forming the "sucker rod";
and a delrin rod guide. The sections assemble very easily.
Lowering 100 feet with a pump takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Each 9 foot section weighs about 5 pounds. 100 feet with a
pump will weigh about 65 pounds.
Tamper
Resistant Hardware Option:
If your pump installation requires hardware to deter vandalism,
Simple Pump Company constructs the model 100L with "Torx"
style screws as well as connecting the spigot body and upper
tube with a permanent chain. Two special wrenches are provided
for assembly/ disassembly. The chain is no longer used as
a tamper resistant part, the option is now done by welding.
PRICES
Pricing and Purchasing:
The Simple Pump kit (model 100L) comes complete
with all necessary installation components: submersible stainless
steel pump cylinder (shown in picture above),2", 4",
5", 6" or 8" well-casing cover with clamp flanges,
and an upper spigot assembly (shown above). The Drop pipe
kit (model 100DP) includes a 1" schedule 80 PVC with
coupling, delrin rod guide, and one 80,000 psi fiberglass
pump rod with integral stainless steel fittings. Each drop
pipe kit is sold as a 9' length kit, $29.
U.P.S. limits packages to 9' in length therefore we offer
the drop pipe kits in 9' only. Example: If an installation
requires the pump to be at 60', then seven 9' kits or kits
are required. (63') PRICES

Pitless Adapter Kit (For
ultimate freeze protection):
A pitless adapter is commonly used on AC pumps for delivering
water through the well casing at a level below the freeze
line - usually about 4'. The Mfr. modified a high quality
1" bronze pitless adapter to include a 5/8" diameter
chrome shaft which passes through a seal and guide. Their
standard sucker rod is then attached to the bottom of the
5/8" shaft, along with their standard drop pipe. When
this system is used, all water is directed through the pitless
adapter and through the well casing below ground, where it
can be piped to your house. The kit includes a 1" bronze
pitless adapter with the 5/8" sealed shaft. Below it
is a short section of pipe to accommodate connecting back
to our standard drop pipe and sucker rods. To connect the
pump head rod to the pitless adapter rod, a 6 foot section
of 3/8" stainless steel all-thread is provided. Depending
on the distance between the pitless adapter and the top of
the well casing, the rod is cut to fit. Detailed instructions
are included with the kit. It can be used with any model of
Simple Pump, both hand and motorized. Here
is a a schematic diagram of a motorized pitless system.
