casing bump

[madfire]

The well is 300 ft with pump at 252 and static at 189. 2hp pump. Well driller says the well should be 400-450 but have had no problems with water quality so aint goin there yet. 8 in casing, 1 1/4 inch galvanized downpipe.

Sorry something else I found out is that my well is only 300. It is cased down to that point. Just for filling the well they want 4500. I have noticed out here that the prices on the materials is doubled or tripled if I go through a well drilling company. Is that normal?Examples: pump, motor, and control box through the first company: 2052, find it myself 1109, Pipe through the company 3.56 ft, find it myself 1.25 ft.

And you may not be getting as good a price as his wholesale. Plus, he's probably charging labor then too. IMO what he's charging should be an installed price.
