we strive to maintain same-day service for your immediate needs.
Pump System
There are several factors to take into consideration when properly sizing a submersible pump system that will stand the test of time. Well depth, estimated yield of water supply, static (standing water level), drawdown (pumping water level), and offset distance (from well to pressure tank) need to be equated to insure that your submersible pump system will meet water usage needs effectively and efficiently. According to the State of Tennessee regulations, pumping systems must be installed and serviced by licensed professionals. The efficiency of a water system is entirely dependent on proper pump selection and system installation.
Submersible pumps are the most reliable and efficient means of water delivery on the market today. When it comes to submersible pumps, you usually get what you pay for. That is why Joe Samples Well Drilling only carries high quality stainless steel submersible pumps. Other companies may install plastic or bronze submersibles but we have found that a properly sized and installed stainless steel pump will last an average of 15 years with some running over 40 years!!
Types of Pump Systems:
- Conventional Pump Systems
- Constant Pressure Pump System
- Storage Tank Systems
- Commercial and Municipal Pump Systems
Hand Pumps
Joe Samples Well Drilling, Inc has partnered with Bison Pumps and Simple Pump to provide additional options for backup water during any situation. These hand pumps can typically be installed alongside your current electric submersible pump to provide water during power outages, storms, submersible pump malfunctions, or any emergency situation.

These hand pumps can typically be installed alongside your current electric submersible pump to provide water during power outages, storms, submersible pump malfunctions, or any emergency situation.
Factors to determine if a hand pump would work in your well:
- Static water level: The static, or standing, water level in your well will determine the amount of drop pipe/rod needed to make your hand pump functional. It will also be directly proportional to the amount of force needed to operate your hand pump. A static level less than 100’ is very desirable to allow the installation of a deep well hand pump that is easy to operate and provides an adequate amount of water per stroke. Deep well hand pump manufacturers have designed these systems to be capable of pumping water up to 300’ but, from our experience, the amount of work required to move water at that depth is not realistic. We would consider your well to be a good candidate if your static water level is 150’ or less.
- Wellhead configuration: A hand pump requires a certain amount of space around the well head casing to allow you to be able to stand and operate the pump. Steel casing needs to be above ground and located in an open area to allow for proper installation and operation. Well heads located inside structures (well house) or buried underground (inside manhole) are not candidates for a hand pump.
- Well casing diameter: State rules and regulations have changed over the last 50+ years. This has allowed a mix of well casing diameters to be used in well construction. Deep well hand pumps need to be secured properly to the top of the casing to ensure safe operation. This is made possible by the well head assembly that connects the deep well hand pump to your existing steel casing. We must know this diameter to determine if there is physical “room” for your hand pump to install in conjunction with your submersible pump but also to make sure the proper sized hand pump well head assembly is ordered. Modern steel well casing diameter is 6-⅝” ID x 6-¼” ID.
Simple Pump
A Simple Pump Deep Well hand pump and components are constructed using stainless-steel and PVC materials. The drop pipe size is 1” diameter and the rod inside the drop pipe is fiberglass with stainless inserts bonded to the ends. Simple pumps shine when dealing with deep static levels due to the lightweight characteristics of the pump rod.

Bison Pump
A Bison Pump Deep Well hand pump and components are constructed using stainless-steel and PVC materials. The drop pipe size is 1-¼” and the rod inside the drop pipe is stainless-steel. Due to the larger diameter drop pipe Bison pumps are generally capable of moving more water per stroke.
