Lemco Drawdown Well Seals Print E-mail
Lemco Seals
AIR & CONTAMINATION BARRIER FOR WATER WELLS


The Lemco Drawdown Well Seal protects the submersible pump by forming an airtight seal to control drawdown and prevent cavitation which causes the motor to burn out. The drawdown factor, which is the difference between the static water level and the pumping water level, becomes a nonissue because the seal forces water to be pumped from the aquifer below, instead of from the static water level above the pump.

In the illustration, the apparent pumping water level is below the pump inlet, but the Lemco Seal keeps the pump submerged in water pumping normally, unaffected by the amount of drawdown outside the well casing.

During the pumping cycle, the raising and lowering of the water level causes aeration of the water, corrosion to build up and rust to form. The Lemco Seal provides a positive barrier to eliminate wash-down of rust and slime, especially in black pipe, and it retards corrosion. Air, dirt, sand, foreign objects and contamination from ground pollution entering through the pitless unit, cracked casing or a loose pipe joint is contained above the seal.
