Recently, my neighbor had a new well and sprinklers put in.
The new well had to be further away from the house.
The installers put piping in which seems a little unconventional to me.
The check valve is above the ground level about two feet.
Then the piping goes back underground for about 18 feet or so.
The system seems to work just fine.
I am wondering if others have seen this, and/or is this the NEW way of doing it?
It seems like that the piping underground would create sort of a container to hold significant water, which might actually HELP the pump to keep it’s prime better.
Any thoughts on this?
