Would "they" really bother to use the "down" pipe for conduit?
Most "pump guys" just keep a BIG roll of 10-3 w/ground on the truck. The
wire doesn't need conduit.

Maybe.
Usually, at the "fringers" of the service envelop of a particular pump, the
maker (or someone else) has a pump that centers on that same point. Unless
you have already spent the money it pays the get the optimum pump for your
