The hole in the pipe is to break an air lock that the pump may develop if the sump ever runs dry or the water level drops below the intake of the pump. Air inside the pump might not be purged out when the water level rises and the pump is called to turn on, causing the pump impeller to 'run dry' inside the pump. The hole allows the air to escape and the pump to prime itself and operate without an air lock condition.

Where can I find a manual for installing a sump pump?
To avoid a basement flood, installing a sump pump is a must. First mark an outline of the sump basin on the floor. Next dig a hole large enough to fit the basin making sure it is flush with the floor. Wrap the basin with filter fabric. Set the basin in the hole with a few inches of gravel inside. Put stone paver on the gravel. Put the pump on the paver. Connect valve and PVC pipe to pump, and then run the pipe up the closest wall. You may need to drill a hole to run the pipe outside. Fill around the basin with concrete, and smooth it out. Plug the pump and test it by filling the basin with water.

How do you get water from an aquifer with a well?
An aquifer is a layer of water in the soil. A well is a hole drilled into that soil that will permit water to fill the lower levels of that hole. Water is then pumped from the well. A pump connected to a metal pipe is lowered to the bottom of the well. The pump is generally operated by a motor located at the surface. The pump forces water from the aquifer up the pipe and to the distribution point at the surface.
What is oil well cement?

Air in water line from a water well?
There are only a couple ways to get air in the water line, coming from the well. The most common is a hole, or leak in a fitting, or the suction line if it is an above ground pump. if it is a submersible then the same situation only the hole or leak would be in the pipe coming out of the pump to supply water to the user. Both of these have to be resolved by pulling pipe and replacing or repairing it.The second most common is a hole in the well casing or the water level drops below the pick up do to low water volume, over pumping of the well.

Sump Pump Installation Tip?
A sump pump is a device installed in a basement to pump water out when rain or a broken water pipe causes flooding. The pump is installed in a hole in the basement floor. The best tip for installation is careful planning of the pump and the drain pipe. Use the correct liner for the sump hole, and use the correct size PVC pipe for the drain. Carefully map the drain path so water is carried out of the basement using minimum power. Once outside the basement, water should drain away from the house. Dry fit all the pipes before cementing.
