Quick question for the well experts

[The FIB]

I am in the process of rounding up the material for my well lateral, pitless adapters are available in brass or stainless, what do you recommend.

Doesn't really matter unless the water is chemically reactive with the brass.

If it needs to be inspected please check with the proper people. The house I purchased and tore down had a well, and I decided to replace the pump, line, wire, and pitless adapter. The old pitless unit has a very large O-ring on it and it had a foot that pressed 180° from the hole the water went through the other side of the casing. There was another piece on the outside of the well that had the pipe thread. I thought this was old school so I purchase a modern pitless (stainless) and installed it. When they came out to approve the well - no go - had to be this old school attachment. Typical city / county government - so had to scrap all the new stuff and go back to 1960 technology.

Here is what they approve:

Always better to check first.

Thanks for the responses, I will check to see what type of adapter is acceptable, was wondering if the stainless versions had a longer life expectancy.
