Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed for changing a primary extraction location from an aquifer. An elongate tube-like structure has an upper end and a lower end. The upper end is adapted to attach to a well pump above an intake of the well pump. The lower end is adapted to receive water from the aquifer for the well pump. A length of the elongate tube-like structure is longer than the well pump and extends to a depth below a motor configured with the well pump.
Claims31
An apparatus for use with a water well pump to decrease an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of water extracted from a water well by increasing an effective depth of a water inlet of the water well pump, comprising:
- a custom extended pump sleeve (CEPS), the CEPS is configured as an elongate tube-like structure, the CEPS has an upper end, a lower end, and a length, the upper end is tightly fitted to the water well pump above the water inlet, thereby requiring water to flow into the water inlet only from the CEPS, the length is chosen to place the lower end at a second depth, the second depth is in a region of a well screen installed in the water well, a first depth places the water well pump above a top of the well screen, the second depth is deeper than the first depth, thereby increasing the effective depth of the water inlet to the lower end of the CEPS which decreases the ORP of the water extracted from the water well.
A method to decrease an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of water extracted from a water well by increasing an effective depth of a water inlet of a water well pump, the following steps are performed in order, comprising:
- setting the water well pump in the water well, wherein the setting places the water well pump at a first depth, wherein the first depth is above a top of a well screen installed in the water well, a custom extended pump sleeve (CEPS) is coupled to the water well pump, wherein the CEPS is configured as an elongate tube-like structure, the CEPS has an upper end, a lower end, an inner diameter, an outer diameter, and a length, the upper end is tightly fitted to the water well pump above the water inlet thereby requiring water to flow into the water inlet only from the CEPS, the outer diameter is sized to fit into a well casing and the length extends below the water well pump to a second depth, wherein the second depth is below the top of the well screen, the second depth is deeper than the first depth;
- and
- pumping water after the setting when the water well pump is in an ON state, thereby increasing the effective depth of the water inlet to the lower end of the CEPS which decreases the ORP of the water extracted from the water well.
A system to decrease an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of water extracted from a water well by increasing an effective depth of a water inlet to a water well pump, comprising:
- a custom extended pump sleeve assembly, the custom extended pump sleeve assembly comprising:
- a water well pump and motor assembly, the water inlet is configured with the water well pump;
- a custom extended pump sleeve (CEPS), the CEPS having an upper end, a lower end, and a length, the upper end is tightly fitted to the water well pump and motor assembly at a location above the water inlet, thereby requiring water to flow into the water inlet only from the CEPS, the length is chosen to place the lower end at a second depth, the second depth is in a region of a well screen installed in the water well, the water well pump is to be placed at a first depth which is above a top of the well screen, the second depth is deeper than the first depth, thereby increasing the effective depth of the water inlet to the lower end of the CEPS which decreases the ORP of the water extracted from the water well.
