Let me give a few more facts. The well is about 110 ft deep and was dug by the owner that I bought the property from using a Deep Rock self drilling machine. The casing is 2" with no exterior casing. My pond is about 1 acre when full which it has been all winter. This well is located away from my house so the little noise an above ground pump would make wouldn't be a bother. I believe I could get a submersible for this size. I think my home well is this size inside of 4" casing with a submersible pump. Not sure I could keep an above ground pump from overheating now that I think about it. Our water table is high probably because we are near a river. The tank I was speaking of is the type for holding my household water. I believe this would probably be unnecessary actually. Cecil I plan to have the pipe at the pond situated such that the water does alot of splashing onto rocks as it enters the pond. The flow of water would hopefully be enough to fill to my minimum level in 2 or 3 hours. What do you guys think?
