Starting to get me excited here boys! A shallow well pump is doable on a limited budget. I have plenty blood, sweat and tears to spend! I have always written it off thinking I would draw down the pond with a shallow well.
Would like to hear some more though, will this actually work? I know a shallow well does not have a significant volume, but overtime it could slowly put water back in the pond if I run it 24/7. Then with a little rain, I should be able to just maintain the level as you stated. Calculate how much water I am losing during the day and pump that amount back in at night from the shallow well?
Do I need to worry about betonite in the pond or let it be? Any advice on installing a shallow well pump?
