Hi there,
We tore down a mobile home recently but the electric was disconnected about 5 years or so ago so the well hasn't been run in that long. Thinking about turning it into an RV site since we have electric pole/wall/septic onsite already.
The well was installed in 1973 when my parents got married and all I know about it is that it's about 600 feet deep. Pitless adapter style. When the mobile home came down, we left the black water line long and have access to the 2 wires coming from the well. Thinking to see if the pump is still ok, I'd hook it up to our portable generator which has a 220v plug option. Any reason that won't work? Only thing I'm not sure if is the amps needed as I think the generator has a 30a breaker in it (I'd have to check).
I just want to see if water comes out before I get into sanitizing/shocking it etc.
thanks!
