As we often see, the well water in winter is usually warmer than the water in the tank or warmer than the temperature in winter. Why is well water warm in winter? Is it possible that well water can regulate its own temperature? If you want to know the answer, you should read the article below.
To know why well water is warm in winter, we must first know what well water is and what its temperature is, as well as whether well water can change its own temperature.
The temperature of the well water does not change, be it winter or summer.
Well water, or groundwater, is a stream of water below the ground, it is about ten meters above the ground or maybe even deeper. Because it is deep underground, the well water is usually very clean and this is also the purest fresh water that feeds all mankind. To get well water for daily use, we have to dig very deep into the ground and especially to choose the right groundwater flow, the new well will have plenty of water.
Because the well water is quite deep in the ground and covered by quite thick layers of soil, it is almost not directly affected by the climate above the ground. Therefore, it can be confirmed that well water cannot regulate its own temperature and the temperature of well water is between 4-6 degrees Celsius.
As mentioned above , well water has a temperature of about 4-6 degrees Celsius. The temperature of well water is almost constant whether it is winter or summer regardless of the temperature on the ground.
The reason why we find that well water is often warmer in winter is due to human feelings . Normally in the summer when the temperature on the ground is very high and often makes us feel hot, when we touch the water, it will feel very cool or at least not hot at all. In winter, the temperature on the ground often drops, making us feel very cold.
As for the well water, because it does not change its temperature, when touching the well water, we will feel warmer than in the summer. This is exactly why the well water is warm in winter.
