Water Well Screen Pipe designed to support borehole walls and allow water entry while blocking fine sediments in groundwater wells

 

 

Product Description

 

Water Well Screen Pipe: Essential Protection for Sustainable Aquifer Development

 

Water well screen pipe is a critical component in the construction of water supply, irrigation, and monitoring wells. Its primary function is to provide stable access to groundwater by supporting the borehole wall while allowing clean water to efficiently enter the well and preventing the influx of sand, fine sediments, and other aquifer materials. Made from durable materials such as stainless steel, PVC, or galvanized steel, water well screen pipes feature precisely designed and manufactured filtration slots. These slots are engineered based on the grain size analysis of the surrounding formation to achieve optimal hydraulic efficiency and long-term sand control. Unlike a simple perforated pipe, a properly designed screen pipe maximizes well yield, minimizes sediment-related pump damage and maintenance costs, and ensures the longevity and clarity of the water source. It is the key to constructing an efficient, reliable, and sustainable water well that delivers clean water for years to come.

Performance Features

 

• Optimal Hydraulic Efficiency: Engineered slot design provides maximum open area for water entry with minimal flow resistance, enhancing specific capacity and well yield.

• Precision Sand Control: Slot size and geometry are scientifically selected based on formation sieve analysis to effectively block aquifer sands and fine particles while allowing clear water flow.

• Corrosion & Incrustation Resistance: Available in materials like stainless steel (304/316) and PVC to resist chemical corrosion, biological fouling, and mineral scale buildup, ensuring long service life.

• High Structural Strength: Robust construction withstands installation stresses, formation pressures, and collapse loads to maintain screen integrity at depth.

• Durability & Longevity: Designed for decades of reliable service, reducing the need for frequent rehabilitation or replacement of the water well.

• Customizable Design: Slot size (continuous wire-wrapped, mill-slotted, or louvered), pipe diameter, length, and material can be customized to suit specific hydrogeological conditions and project requirements.

FAQ

 

 

1. What is a water well screen pipe?
A water well screen pipe is a slotted filter installed in a well to allow clean water to flow in while keeping out sand, sediment, and other particles. It is essential for protecting pumps, ensuring water clarity, and maximizing the well's lifespan and efficiency.

 

2. What are the main types of water well screens?
The most common types are:

• Wire-wrapped screens (continuous slot): Best for high yield and precise sand control; ideal for demanding wells.

• Mill-slotted screens: A durable, cost-effective option for many standard applications.

• Louvered screens: Often used for specific industrial or dewatering needs.
  The best choice depends on your water quality, well depth, and usage.

 

3. How is the right slot size chosen?
Slot size is carefully selected based on a professional sieve analysis of soil and sand samples from your well site. This ensures the screen blocks the right amount of sediment while allowing optimal water flow—preventing both sand pumping and reduced water yield.
