Drop Pipes and Depths

When it comes to drop pipes for your system there are a lot of choices and options to consider. This article will outline our recommendations when choosing a drop pipe material for your solar system. Using the Drop Pipes Chart we can see that the recommended material for well depths under 450 feet is polypipe with various PSI ratings. After 450 feet we move over the schedule 80 and 120 PVC piping up to 750 feet. Anything beyond 750 feet we recommend galvanized steel piping. Other types of piping not mentioned by the chart might be suitable options depending on well depth but we recommend sticking to polypipe, PVC, or galvanized steel. These 3 materials are strong, durable, and corrosion resistant.
