Shy Guava's feedback is spot on.
What do you plan on using the water for? I have 2 wells and was going to set up a watering system etc. Before I began I pulled water samples and sent them to the lab at my company to be analyzed. Both had active bacteria, heavy metal ( mostly Fe) and was high in sodium which could be from a host of things. Our water table is low being right on the Wang river. Plus if you plan on drinking it, you will want to set up a large filtration system which will take maintenance.
People who have wells way out in the country are probably much safer as the water table is much deeper and not any city type impurities leaching into the water even though many of these farmers are using heavy fertilizers and pesticides nowadays.
If you have access to city water, stick with it. I sent some city water out to be analyzed and it as very clean with a very stable pH. I check it occasionally using my pool testing kits. Its hard water but you can drink it as it comes into the house. I still have a charcoal large upright filter bottle to remove basic impurities before entering the holding tank for personal use.
Leave the top ring on get a slightly bigger top in diameter so there's an overhang and use it as a table painted the color of lilac tea. Sorted.
Cheers.
It goes through a big metal filtration tank that is around 1.5 - 2 meters tall. Then into the bathrooms for showers, sinks and the kitchen sink and washing machine. No one drinks it, crates of drinking water bottles are delivered weekly. Has been this setup since we moved in.
Switching the lid to be under the top ring instead of on top of it, then sealing it with a silicone gun or whatever just to make it even sealier, shouldn't open it up to anything getting into it.
Evensong deja vu
Anna so to bed ignoring all great advice from sturdy members Lulu's ring piece damaged beyong all recognition
Having never really thought about the inner workings of the Earth's water table, oddly enough, I would have guessed that the water in it was gently moving around, kinda like a stream.
And that yer well would go down into it, then your water pipe down further, so that the water you're drawing up would always be changing due to the water moving around.
This isn't the case?
The water is usually just sitting there, all stagnant and more pongy than a KW red?
Pulled out a long ass piece of piping from where the builders just chucked all their shyte, and dipped it down, it went around 1 meter into the water and still didn't hit anything. No idea if me concrete rings go that deep down or it's the gateway to Miller's Planet.
Homeboy be deep, y'all.
Received with thanks. :-)
With the water down there apparently being rather stationary, is there some sort of non-fatal chemical tablet or something you should drop down there to keep it minty fresh?
A chlorine tablet every 6 months, or the such?

^ well, well, well. There's no need to be back with the ill behaviour.
Well, well, well, there ya go. Ask stupid questions get stupid answers. Happy now?
^ I will be once Edith pulls her finger out and gets painting!!
Sadly that appears to be the case. He must be really bored.
It seems odd that a "Villa" would use a well. Of course Eddie's use of the word Villa could mean many things to him. It could be a shack in the mountains overlooking a field but calling it a Villa makes it sound quaint.
Good luck with that Well project. Did you get a full house of greens?
Eddie does have form and learned from the Thais when it comes to embellishing Building names like his Rangsit studio Mansion
I note he drops in multiple bathrooms to the op.
Pretty sure he's stopping at his sisters place.
And look how well worn out that tape measure is for someone who didn't know what a raw plug was a fortnight ago
In her garden even?
We need to feel Umpathu for the poor lad and needs space for a hi-so shack after discovering his Soddom Insane mancave was too small and actually rather like so much of LOS a cess pit, which from thyme immermintymoil the natural home of lulus, bogmen and culchies.
P.S. Dear Lulu I 've vacted the dog house and having promised not to miturate in the garden and am allowed in the rear entry so there's a plaice fur ewe, runt free just expect to feel the sprinkler at dawn (some pay good monay for that).
The well rings are 90cm diameter, 40cm height.
Will need to paint 1.5 rings, plus the flat lid.
How much paint would be needed?
1 liter? 3 liters? 5 liters?
It's already been painted, so no need for a primer?
Homeboy in Homepro said epoxy paint is for indoors not outdoors.
Some quick math for you....
To calculate the amount of paint needed to paint a ring, we need to know the surface area of the ring. Here's how we can calculate it:
1. Calculate the radius:
The radius is half the diameter, so:
radius = diameter / 2
radius = 90 cm / 2
radius = 45 cm
2. Calculate the lateral surface area:
This is the area of the curved surface of the ring. We can use the formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder:
lateral_surface_area = 2 * pi * radius * height
lateral_surface_area = 2 * pi * 45 cm * 40 cm
lateral_surface_area = 11309.73 cm²
3. Calculate the top and bottom surface area:
We need to find the area of two circles, one for the top and one for the bottom. We can use the formula for the area of a circle:
circle_area = pi * radius²
circle_area = pi * (45 cm)²
circle_area = 6361.73 cm²
4. Calculate the total surface area:
Now add the lateral surface area to the top and bottom surface area:
total_surface_area = lateral_surface_area + 2 * circle_area
total_surface_area = 11309.73 cm² + 2 * 6361.73 cm²
total_surface_area = 23933.2 cm²
5. Convert to square meters:
One square meter is equal to 10,000 square centimeters, so:
total_surface_area_m² = total_surface_area / 10000 cm²/m²
total_surface_area_m² = 23933.2 cm² / 10000 cm²/m²
total_surface_area_m² = 2.39332 m²
6. Calculate the amount of paint needed:
Assuming your paint can cover 10 square meters per liter, you can use the following formula:
paint_needed = total_surface_area_m² / paint_coverage_m²/liter
paint_needed = 2.39332 m² / 10 m²/liter
paint_needed = 0.239332 liters
Therefore, you will need approximately 0.24 liters of paint to paint the ring.

^ Good Maths but all a bit theoretical.
One of those small skinny coke cans is 250ml, and that doesn't seem like much paint to me.
Have you taken into account the viscosity of rhe paint, and how absorbance of the concrete? Those concrete rings often have lots of little holes that will soak up the paint.
Just buy a 2 litre pot and have some spare for next year.
I wouls also start with a coat of fungicide, judging from that black staining.
I didn't, but assuming the concrete is standard and assuming Lulu is a rookie holding a paintbrush, I would probably increase the quantity by 2.5, which will amply allowance for do overs and spillage assuming the viscosity of the paint is the usual Thai paint and the coarseness of the concrete is of the usual Thai baby ass smoothness.
