How does a foot valve normally operate? Is it just a check valve on the bottom of a well pipe? I see that they typically have a screen on them as well. Does that mean they replace the screen/point on a sand point?
I don't know if I have a foot valve or not, but if I did and I had water standing in my pipe all the way to the pump, would it drain back into the well at all? I would think that it would not. However, I've been told that a foot valve is designed to allow water to drain back slowly.
Thanks
