My well is shallow about 41 ft and I can run it dry in about 2 minutes. In order to combat this I had to design a controller that will start when the casing is full, run until it is about 2 ft above the pump and then shut off until the casing is full again. It has worked out great for 3+ years now and the pump runs about 25 percent of the time. Plan to put a new one in this summer at a cost of 15.00 per ft which includes a 20' casing at the top need to get down to the next layer of limestone and into the underground lake we have in this area then I can pump all I want.
