Not true always HJ,Sometimes there is pressure behind ......Upper
You originally said: ... it has a 6" diameter, static level 18', depth 78' and the pump being used is a jet pump in the basement with a 1" flexible pipe going down the well also says water found at 48' and water height 30'.There are 2 lines going down the well, one about 1" ID, the other smaller and there is one line going to the pressure tank.
He didn't say that if the well is drained that it will produce more GPM, he wants to know if there is a vein near the bottom that is producing most of the water. Say 10ft from the bottom there is a good sized vein, it might fill the bottom 10-15ft quickly, but from that point up the veins might be smaller and slower producing allowing only a slow recovery from 15ft up. Thats what I gathered from our conversation and to me is makes sense, if you have water coming in from the bottom of something with no pressure its not going to defy gravity.
Oh but Upper he did if you count "a" as ONE and read single line down the well. Again, here's a copy of what he said; a jet pump in the basement with A 1" flexible pipe going down the well.Gary he never said single line.And you knew mannny posts ago that it was a deep well jet.Guvner just pull the pipe out of there and well test.Plain and simple..............Upper
Does that make sense to you guys that the well could recover quick at the bottom, but as the water rises the recovery drops?
Well its dead in the water, 5hrs since I drained it and there is no recovery at all. Thanks for the help everyone.
Cheers
IIRC somewhere in this thread I may have posted a link on an Intermattic (sic) timer that has a 2 minute per/pin 24 hr timer rated at higher amperage than most well pumps use. If I haven't search for it on the web.I have looked at water heater timmer but they dont run with a 20 on/off per DAY. The two systems were made? for what I am looking for but they both look the same>>>
