Classification of wells that is less than 7.6m in depth {=Shallow}

Classification of wells that is more than 7.6m in depth {=Deep}

_______ are shallow wells, generally not more than 25 ft (7.6 m) deep, and
typically 3 to 6 ft (1 to 2 m) in diameter. They are typically made by excavation
with a backhoe or excavator but can be hand shoveled, as this was the method
typically used for hundreds of years. {=Dug wells}

A type of pump which combines centrifugal and ejection pumping. In addition to a

motor, impeller, and diffuser, the jet pump includes a jet (ejector) assembly that
consists of a nozzle and venturi tube. {=well jet =well jet pump}

A type of centrifugal pump designed to operate
end of the well shaft. It is typically used in
least 75 ft (23 m) deep. The pump is submerged
about 20 ft (6 m) from the bottom of the well.

{=Submersible well pump =Submersible

It is a type of closed storage container designed to store water under pressure.

{=pressure tank}

It is traditionally the most popular water supply pipe material. It is also used in
water space heating (hydronic) systems, air conditioning and refrigeration systems,
sanitary drainage, and natural gas and liquid petroleum gas piping. {=Copper tubing
=Copper tubing pipe}

A type of pipe that is covered with a protective coating of zinc that greatly
reduces its tendency to corrode and thus extends its life expectancy. It is
moderately corrosion resistant and suitable for mildly acid water. {=Galvanized
steel pipe =Galvanized steel}

Fittings that are usually at 45° and 90°, are angular fittings used to change the
direction of a supply pipe. On a sanitary drainage system, a sanitary bend makes a
more gradual turn to prevent blockage. {=elbow =elbows}
Fittings that are used in a supply system when a line must branch off at a straight
run. {=Tees =tee}

Fittings that allows different pipe sizes to be joined together in a supply system.
{=Reducing Tees =Reducing tee}

These are tee-like fittings used in sanitary drainage systems that make a more
gradual turn to prevent blockage. {=Sanitary T =sanitary Y}

It can accept two or three branches before combining flow into one pipe. {=sanitary

These are used to control flow of the water throughout the system. {=Valves}

These valve is a manual valve that has a wedge-shaped leaf that, when closed, seals
tightly against two metal seats that are set at slight angles. {=gate valve =gate
valves}
