I am constructing a new home on an 11 acre remote county site and my intent is to try to utilize an existing well for a geothermal Heating/Cooling system. The well used to service two or three house trailers that were on the site, but the pump/tank was removed and the pump house is in disrepair. It hasn't been used in about 10 years. My wife had a pro come look at it, but he did not want to mess with it, because it was not capped. Said there would be debris in it that would tear up his pump. It is a 6" PVC casing and is 55' deep with 18' of water (37' down to water). Should I purchase a pump and see how much it will pump? I would need about 4.5 to 6 GPM for the A/C system, while running. If so, what style, jet or submersible? I do not intend to use the well for potable water, as we now have a public water line close by. Is there any chance of this well producing enough water?
Thanks.
Thanks.
