The above ground "Well House" or "Well Pit" left much to be desired in the categories of sanitation. convenience, and freeze protection. Monitor developed the first solution to eliminate the "well house" and "well pit" - the Pitless Unit.

The Pitless Unit allows the water to be discharged below the frost line, to the water treatment facility, thus preventing any form of surface contamination. The Pitless Adapter and Pitless Units are designed so you can remove the pump for service and not disturb any of the external piping in the well system.

Historically, it was common practice to construct a large diameter pit around a small diameter well. The pit provided convenient access to underground water line connections below the frost line. Unfortunately, wells pits are always unsanitary because they literally invite drainage into the well creating a contamination hazard to the water well system.

Well pits should be eliminated by extending the casing above grade and installing a pitless unit.

Pitless units, consisting of a pitless adapter and casing fitting, are commercially manufactured underground discharge assemblies which provide a frost-free connection and water tight seal where the water line passes through the wall of the well casing. They provide a sanitary connection by preventing the entrance of contaminants from surface sources and permits access to the water systems parts within the well without exterior excavation or disruption of the earth.
