Technical Basis:
Engineering Bulletin No.10 Chapter 3, G.1 SPECIAL VALVES AND APPURTENANCES
Special provisions must be made to protect the system if water can drain out of the column pipe when the pump stops. This will occur if there is no foot valve in the well. An air release valve shall be provided between the pump and the check valve, or if applicable, on the pressure tank to expel air drawn into the line when the water drains out.
Recommendation:
Install an air release valve on the discharge pipe between the pump and check valve
