While water well drilling and pump installation contractors have access to products at local hardware stores, big box stores or regional wholesalers, they are often exposed to a fraction of what is actually available. Retailers, in fact, typically offer only a few of the most common items. Even wholesalers tend to funnel contractors to the products that they stock.
The complexity in a domestic water well system begins with the myriad parts needed to integrate the well, pump, water storage tank, all the pipes and fittings, and the water distribution line to where it is utilized. Adding to the challenge are the various codes and design options required to meet tougher federal, state and municipal regulations.
