I live a five hundred feet from the ocean on the coast of MA. I have a sand well point I just installed for irrigation. 1 1/4 point and pipe. 3/4 HP pump and tank.
I dug down in my crawl space about two feet and hit the water/sand level. I drove the point down about six feet from there. So the top of the point is eight feet down from the top soil in the crawl space.
The pump is not pulling in water. I have good suction and prime. I was told by a local I may be too deep.
Does it matter I am in the crawl space, should there be a need for more top soil over the water sand level?
If I poor water in the pipe, how long before it should drain down to the water table.
I pulled the point out and made sure it wasn't clogged.
Again the water/sand is only a few feet down from the crawl space top soil.
