Water Well

[JEck]

Bought my house last year and the previous owner tore out the submersible pump, all the wiring in the well house and inside my house, and all the underground throughout the yard when he put in artificial turf. I went back to grass and am needing to figure out what would be the best way to go about this. My yard is not very big so it won’t take much water to keep up. I bought a cheap 1hp jet pump online. What would be the best way to go about plumbing this in? Should I just stick a foot valve on a garden hose and stick it down the casing, or should I figure out how to run pvc thru the well house cover?

First read seems like drinking water well. Second read is irrigation well.

If irrigation well stick the pipe down the well if you can. Use a check valve to maintain pressure at pump.

If drinking water well, run off drinking water system.

Im a scientist kind of guy. Not into this green grass thing that wastes water and spreads fertilizers far an wide for no reason. My grass goes brown and crunchy in summer but my food plots don’t. You anly water em once a month. Screw the lawn.

How deep is the well? What’s the static level?

16 feet to water, total well depth of 37’

I’m really jealous as someone who just drilled a 400’ one.

I think I would get a role of poly pipe for this.
