I have a 70' drilled well with a pump at 66' depth. There's a puddle on the lawn so I' going to run a new supply line to the house above ground for now to see if it dries up.
Here are the connections atop my well. The vent appears to be connected to the pressure line.
There is a check valve in it like a vacuum breaker, but I can't see how it would ever open.
Does my well need a vent? I have been told it is artesian so maybe the water is pushing up around the well...maybe I need a different style well cap with a vent connection. weird to me...
