The Simple Pump will fit in MOST WELLS alongside an already installed submersible or alone. It needs just 1-3/4" diameter clearance. (If using the 100CA cylinder, 1.6" clearance will be enough.)
It will also fit in a 2” casing alone.
The following chart shows conditions for Simple Pump installation, alongside a submersible -- its most common use.

WELL
|
CONDITIONS
|
|
2"
|
Standalone installation.
|
|
4", 4.5"
With submersible exiting through well cap.
|
Will install in THE MAJORITY OF such wells.
The 125 configuration (5gpm) needs 1.75" clearance. The 100 configuration (3gpm) needs 1.6" clearance. This clearance will be more likely if:
- Butt couplers on submersible drop pipe are the cylindrical stainless steel type, not the more bulky galvanized or brass.
- Submersible discharge is larger than the standard 1-1/4" (ID) pipe.
The Simple Pump must be set at least ten feet above the submersible.

With submersible exiting through pitless adaptor.

- Submersible discharge is larger than the standard 1-1/4" (ID) pipe.
Clearance past the pitless must also be specifically checked.
The Simple Pump must be set at least ten feet above the submersible.

6”, 6.25", 7”, 8”
|
 ALMOST ALL 6, 6.25, 7 and 8 inch wells are good for installation alongside a submersible.
Limit: If you have a particular rare kind of pitless installed that is unusually bulky. (See right.)

For Wider Dug Wells
|
E.g. a dug well, three feet wide with a liner and concrete, wood or metal lid. A hole would be drilled in the lid and our adaptor used with appropriate bolts. A well cap is then mounted to the adaptor and the pump installed.
