Great site. Enjoyed following the story of 75 year old Fred reclaiming his well https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?6613-How-to-remove-deep-well-cap
I've tried searching for any information on the Flow Rite (or any well cap) with the single center bolt and only come up with some off hand references warning not to mess with it and call a pro. Such as the following:
That just makes me more determined to find out what is so special about this setup. I understand what a pitless adapter is. Not sure what exactly this center bolt connects to. Does the center bolt hold up the entire pump? I would be grateful for any links or info on this style of well.

Certain well caps (e.g. Flow Rite, characterized by a bolt in the center of the well cap), when removed,
will break the connection of the drop pipe to the pitless adaptor, causing a loss of water pressure. Wells
having draw down seals, sealed spools, or wells that are classified as flowing wells are difficult to
chlorinate.
