Not sure what the static water level is, I'll check that tomorrow, since pump is connected up and running now. I did not go any shallower than 19'. When I was at 18' on another hole production was really bad, gurgling and all so I figured I need to be content with 6 gpm. The other wellpoint that was about 7' from this one was at about 20', not sure of exact depth as I did that well over 20 years ago.
I changed my mind on using the mudhog, I'm concerned that with it having a 3" intake and me reducing it to 1 1/4 that I may put to much pressure on the pvc particularly the screen; I think it may cause it to fracture.
Sand that comes out after I move the well point up and down with pump off but still connected is yellowish/tan. I also made a 1/2" pvc pipe about 23' long and I connect a hose on the top to try to flush the sand in the screen up and out. It works to a certain degree but the water I put down toward the screen also can get sucked into the well so no water comes up until a run it for a few minutes.
Edited Ground water is at 7'
