Flowing Well Packer

Available from 4″ to 8″


Flowing wells have long been a problem for well drillers and home owners alike. This may cause massive amounts of water waste that result in water damage and impact our precious resources.


Well and pump problems can be avoided in areas where freezing occurs. Well Busters manufactures a device called the Flowing Well Packer that allows drillers, pump installers and home owners to prevent the discharge of water from their flowing well.


The Flowing Well Packer is a specially engineered product that works by shutting off the well below frost level. All metal parts are stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long life.


The Flowing Well Packer comes in sizes fitting 8″, 6 1/4″, 6″, 5″ and 4″ diameters.


WHAT IT DOES

Creates a vaccuum seal below frost level that allows air flow

Withstands water pressures up to 12psi (6″—12psi)(5″—30psi)

Protects our groundwater resourcesby preventing leakage in and out of the well


HOW DOES IT WORK?

It works by lowering the tightening rod down into the well head just above the pitless adapter and squeezing the medical grade rubber against the interior well casing. If necessary, the packer can be equipped with liquid strain relief fittings to seal submersible pump wires that also aid the ease of the packer installation. Once installed, an air vaccuum release allows air to enter and escape the well, but does not allow water through. See image slider to the right for a visual explanation.


PRESSURE TESTING

A pressure test must be completed before every flowing well packer is installed to ensure a strong and effective seal. The 6 and 5 inch Flowing Well Packer can withstand head pressures up to 12 psi and 30 psi, respectively.
