Product Description

The well screen’s main purpose is to keep the filter pack in place. The screen itself is not a filtering device, although it acts as one in the development of a naturally developed well. The well screen allows water inflow, retains select material, and is the access to the aquifer for well development and future well maintenance while keeping the well open.Open areas of more than 30% are common for continuous-slot screens with no loss of column strength. The type of aquifer and the chemistry of aquifer waters can be different from location to location. Screen design should accommodate the varying characteristics. Experience shows that screens having the features described as follow provide the best service in most geologic conditions.

Continuous slot openings around the screen circumference permit maximum accessibility to the aquifer for more efficient development.Slot openings that provide maximum open area consistent with strength requirements take advantage of the aquifer hydraulic conductivity.V-shaped slot or pinch-point openings reduce clogging and optimize sand control.Metal screens must be selected for the intended service life of the well with the water chemistry in mind.Screens must withstand stresses normally encountered during and after installation.Using a wide variety of slot openings (from 0.005-inch to 0.250-inch) and appropriate filter pack size can be effective.Continuous-slot wire-wrap screens are used throughout the world for water, oil, and gas wells, and for environmental well completions. It is the most common screen type used in the water well industry.

Wire-wrap screens are produced by wrapping and welding cold-rolled triangular-shaped wire around a circular array of longitudinal rods. This produces a rigid unit that has high strength and minimum weight.Slot openings result from the spacing of successive wraps of the outer layers of wire. Slot sizes typically range from 0.006-inch to 0.250-inch, and manufacturers can keep the sizes to close tolerance. Slots can be varied on a single screen and this is often used as tight-wind casing for a sump or riser pipe on telescoping completions.The slot openings number designates the corresponding width of the openings in thousandths of an inch. For example, a 10 slot is an opening of 0.010-inch.The V-shaped openings—designed to be non-clogging—are narrowest at the outer face and widen inwardly. Thus, oversized particles are retained outside the screen, and sand grains that pass through the opening enter the screen without becoming wedged in the slot. In screens with cut slots, the entering particles can turn or twist and become lodged in the slots, which can reduce the available intake area considerably and cause either lower yield or greater drawdown .

The well screen is a vital component of a well system that acts as a filter-like barrier, attached to the bottom of the well casing. Its primary function is to allow water to enter the well while preventing the entry of sediment, debris, and other unwanted contaminants. In this article, we will explore the significance of the well screen and discuss the occasional need to brush and bail the screened area to ensure optimal water flow.

Located at the bottom of the well casing, the well screen is designed with small slots or openings that allow water to flow into the well while trapping larger particles and impurities. This filtration process is essential for maintaining the quality of the water supply and preventing potential damage to the pumping system and downstream appliances. By reducing the entry of sediment and debris, the well screen helps protect the pump and prolong its lifespan, ensuring a continuous and clean water supply.

Over time, the well screen can accumulate sediment and debris, gradually restricting the flow of water into the well. This buildup can hinder the efficiency of the well system and impact water yield. To address this issue, periodic maintenance is necessary. Brushing and bailing the screened area of the well involve using specialized tools to remove accumulated sediment and debris, allowing for improved water flow and maximum well performance. It is recommended to consult with a professional well contractor who can perform this maintenance task and ensure that the well screen is clean and functioning optimally.

Regular inspection of the well screen is also essential to detect any signs of damage or blockages. A damaged or clogged well screen can significantly impact water flow and water quality. If the screen is severely damaged, it may require replacement to restore the efficiency of the well system. Consulting with a professional well contractor is crucial for assessing the condition of the well screen and determining the appropriate course of action to maintain optimal water flow and quality.

In summary, the well screen is a critical component of a well system that filters the entry of water while preventing sediment and debris from entering the well. It plays a vital role in maintaining water quality, protecting the pumping system, and ensuring a continuous and clean water supply. Periodic brushing and bailing of the screened area, along with regular inspections, are necessary to optimize the well's performance. By prioritizing the maintenance of the well screen, homeowners can enjoy reliable and high-quality water from their well for years to come.
