Benefits of Using a Pitless Adapter
Makes it Easier to Work on Interior Well Components
This pitless adapter from Star Water Systems features a male-female design to make it easier to work on interior well components. Screw a T-bar to the threaded top of the adapter to remove the drop pipe, wire and submersible pump without compromising existing installation. After completing the repair, slide the male piece into the female component.
Extends the Wellhead Above Ground
Having an above-ground wellhead offers an easy access point for well maintenance. Having an above-ground wellhead also serves as an excellent reference point to avoid damage to current well components during repairs.
Prevent Well Pit Deterioration
Many wells of the past had a well pit and wellhead or covering to connect the drop pipe and supply fitting. The well pit helped to prevent water supplies from freezing in regions with cooler climates and provided easy access for technicians to perform maintenance.
However, when covered with an access cover, well pits can deteriorate and become a trap for animals and small children. If the lid is too tight, it can also trap underground gases, creating further danger. A pitless adapter from Star Water Systems eliminates the need for a well pit improving the overall quality of your water supply line.
