I just purchased a vacant lot next to my house/land that already has a 1 year old well with a submersible pump already set up. Since the previous owner was a snow bird living in a travel trailer has moved, the lot will remain empty. At some point I may tie that well to mine for redundancy but in the meantime I'm wondering if I should cycle the pump once in awhile. If so, how often and for how long? One reason I'm asking is because of the electrical service. Our electric company has a minimum $20/mo. charge and the only reason I would need service would be to run the pump if needed. Any thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated.
