I am having to use my well pump that was used for the house prior to county water coming through. It comes out of the ground at about 56 degrees and I shoot it across the surface at about three feet off the water. I also found when I pulled the submersible pump that the well is only 42 ft deep just at the first layer of limestone rock, they were cheap and didn't go to the second rock layer! So I am only able to pump about 3 hours per day at about 20 GPM. Watch your well to make sure you don't run it dry. I had to design a controller to sense the water when it is 1 foot above the pump and shut off power until it comes up the casing about 20 foot and now it is working great. If any one else has a slow well and wants the design shoot me an e-mail all parts are availiable through Radio Shack. Bob in Hartselle, AL
