Orchid is a small town on the barrier island north of Vero Beach, incorporated in 1965. Most of it is the gated Orchid Island Golf and Beach Club, with oceanfront condominiums east of SR A1A and the unpaved, historic Jungle Trail along the lagoon side (Orchid, Florida).
Call (321) 220-9883Wells on the island
House water on the island comes from a utility, so wells here water the landscaping. Island conditions are hard on pump equipment:
- Salt air corrodes switches, fittings and pump motors.
- Brackish water in shallow wells close to the ocean or lagoon.
- Storm surge and outages in hurricane season.

Why does my irrigation pump keep corroding?
Salt air. Stainless fittings and a covered pump location help, and a contractor can suggest both.
