having recently drilled another well which is 460' PVC 5" casing and perforations at 435' to 460' and 195 'to 205 '. This is where the elog showed the strongest water to be.
I was going to put the pump at 225/250 until I read on this forum that the pump should be set above the perforations so the motor would cool correctly. My dilemma as one can see is the pump would be below one but above the other.
Living in an area that has miles of orchards and rice fields, the static water will fluctuate as much as 35' depending on time of year. Currently its at 62' during summer it was 95'. I want to give it some buffer so say worst case static with drawdown 120' . Would like to know if its better to set the pump above say at 190 or just set it at 225/250 . thereby not worrying about having to lower it in the near future
