After moving in 2+ years ago I figured it was time to get that 60 year old well flowing again!

Maybe 4 GPM.

Must be nice being able to dig a ditch without a rock saw.
Good choice on the Goulds Centrifugal!

Some questions:
1.) How deep is the well or more importantly what depth did you set the pump at?
2.) What size casing on the well?
3.) What prompted you to use solar instead of running electricity from where your centrifugal is?

I've got a pasture that power is more than a mile away. I've contemplated solar to fill the holding tank but would still need power for the centrifugal to pump out of the tank.
Water is at about 250' in that area.

Thanks in advance.

(1) Well depth 83 feet. Pump depth minus 15 ft.
(2) 6" casing.

I'm really impressed with the water pressure. This spigot is 600' from the pressure tank.

Thank you. I did an edit and added a question too late.
What prompted you to do solar instead of running power to the well head?
TIA

Installer (friend from Church) said it was less expensive. Everything he did was 1st class and in the best interest of the customer. Since I see him weekly…
