Driving a New Well

[juandigital]

Nice work! I always wanted to put a well in like this. Just in case I ever lose power.

A sand point well is normally driven to a max depth of 25 feet. The reason is that with a pump at the top of the ground the most you can pull water up via a vaccuum is prox 25 feet.

From what I have read....any well over 25 feet deep is a deep well.

Just wanted to mention that you could have a 100 foot deep well. As long as the water level in the pipe is 25 feet or less, you can use a shallow well pump.

Its not the depth of the well that matters, its the standing water level.
