I have a well pump that connects to a 2" HDPE pipe at the pitless adapter. The 2" pipe is approximately 1500 feet long. From the well (elevation 640 feet) there is a high point 150 feet downstream (elevation 642 feet). 600 feet downstream of the high point is a low (elevation 638). 500 feet from the low is another high point (elevation 645 feet). 250 downstream is a manhole to which the pipe daylights to atmosphere (elevation 634 feet).
Is an air release valve needed in this situation? The well pump may run continuously for long periods of time, as it is a dewatering well.
Thanks for your help!
