paul, i think i mentioned 50 gpm above, not 1 gpm.
in my neck of the woods, if you can get 50 gpm, that's about as good as it gets. 50 gpm is just about 0.8 gallons a second....thats a pretty darn good flow rate.
in fact water is so sparse in my particular local area, i was tinkled pink to get 10 gpm at 200 feet in my new well.
