Well water recirculating system
View Patent ↗The present device provides a system for recirculating water in a well to reduce unwanted odor and mineral deposits that develop from stagnated well water. The water recirculation system comprises a wellhead having a vent aperture and a spigot line, a water filter, a nozzle, and a vent adapter, which are coupled with a water pump and water tank to create a mist for recirculating water within the system. The nozzle is positioned to spray the well walls of the well with a mist to reduce material deposits that may otherwise develop. The system operates solely on the water pressure provided by the water pump and water tank.
1. A recirculating system for a well having well walls, a water pump connected to a water tank and a spigot line, and a wellhead with a vent aperture, the recirculating system comprising:
a nozzle fluidly connected with the spigot line through a water conduit, the nozzle adapted for insertion into the vent aperture of the wellhead; and
a vent adapter attachable to the vent aperture and including a riser having at least one vent adapter aperture and a conduit aperture, the water conduit traversing the conduit aperture;
whereby with the vent adapter attached to the vent aperture and with the water conduit traversing the conduit aperture of the vent adapter, and with the water conduit connected with the spigot line, water from the water tank flows through the spigot line, the water conduit, and through the nozzle to spray the well walls of the well, the water pump cycling periodically to refill the water tank.
2. The recirculating system of claim 1 further including a water filter having a water inlet port adapted to be fluidly connected with the spigot line through the water conduit, the water filter having a water outlet port, the nozzle fluidly connected to the water outlet port of the filter through a filtered water conduit, whereby the water from the water tank is filtered before entering the nozzle.
3. The recirculating system of claim 2 wherein the water filter includes a removable cap that, when removed, allows access to a removable filter media, whereby the filter media may be removed for periodic cleaning.
4. The recirculating system of claim 2 wherein the nozzle is a misting nozzle, whereby the water dispensed from the nozzle forms a mist.
5. The recirculating system of claim 2 wherein the riser has a thread at a lower end for engagement with the vent aperture of the wellhead, and wherein the at least one vent adapter aperture includes a plurality of slots formed through at least one side of the riser to release excess gas.
6. The recirculating system of claim 5 wherein the riser is PVC pipe.
7. The recirculating system of claim 2 wherein the nozzle further includes a secondary filter screen to further filter the water before being introduced into the nozzle.
8. A recirculating system for a well having well walls, a water pump connected to a water tank and a spigot line, the recirculating system comprising:
a wellhead including at least a vent aperture, the wellhead adapted for sealing the well but for said vent pipe and a well supply pipe traversing the wellhead and adapted for fluidly connecting the well to the water pump, tank and spigot line;
a nozzle fluidly connected with the spigot line through a water conduit, the nozzle adapted for insertion into the vent aperture of the wellhead; and
a vent adapter attachable to the vent aperture and including a riser having at least one vent adapter aperture and a conduit aperture, the filtered water conduit traversing the conduit aperture;
whereby with the vent adapter attached to the vent aperture and with the water conduit traversing the conduit aperture of the vent adapter, and with the water conduit connected with the spigot line, water from the water tank flows through the spigot line, the water conduit, and through the nozzle to spray the well walls of the well, the water pump cycling periodically to refill the water tank.
9. The recirculating system of claim 8 further including a water filter having a water inlet port adapted to be fluidly connected with the spigot line through the water conduit, the water filter having a water outlet port, the nozzle fluidly connected to the water outlet port of the filter through a filtered water conduit, whereby the water from the water tank is filtered before entering the nozzle.
10. The recirculating system of claim 9 wherein the water filter includes a removable cap that, when removed, allows access to a removable filter media, whereby the filter media may be removed for periodic cleaning.
11. The recirculating system of claim 9 wherein the nozzle is a misting nozzle, whereby the water dispensed from the nozzle forms a mist.
12. The recirculating system of claim 9 wherein the riser has a thread at a lower end for engagement with the vent aperture of the wellhead, and wherein the at least one vent adapter aperture includes a plurality of slots formed through at least one side of the riser to release excess gas.
13. The recirculating system of claim 12 wherein the riser is PVC pipe.
14. The recirculating system of claim 9 wherein the nozzle further includes a secondary filter screen to further filter the water before being introduced into the nozzle.
