Thanks Theo, I'll do the bucket test later today.
I don't know what all the well talk that the guy was saying meant, but the well is 625' deep, he set the pump at about 400' because that was close to the pumps limit and close to the wells max flow of supposedly 40 gpm. He wasn't saying I could pump that much with my setup, but the well it's self could. At first he thought he could do a upgrade for $2,500 and I was going to do it, but when he actually started pricing things out it came to about $4,500 and I said for get it. He said the one hydrant would probably flow about 10 gpm, which my math shows more like 48 hours to put 1" in a 1 acre pond. He did say when the plumber gets my other hose faucets in, I could run a 2nd hose, and while it wouldn't double my flow it would give me a little more and keep the pump from cycling as much.
