Hey guys, thanks for all the sand point water well info.
Stan has opted for a 2-inch sand point with thick wall PVC to connect directly to existing pump, pressure tank and holding tank presently installed inside bottom pump room of beach house.

The following link provided the best info for DIY and may be a help to others.

I found interesting that this very simple method for water wells in shallow aquifers was used in bivouac camps during WWI.
