I had a well drilled quite a few years ago. Figured to get water to the house and also send some to the pond about 100 yards away.

Well didn’t produce over 1/10 gpm. Yep, you read that right. Can’t send any to pond but I pump into a 1,500 gallon rubber tank. Then to house.

So far, so good after 20 or so years. Recently had a problem with the well pump and had it replaced. Of course, I didn’t know about it until I ran out of water at house.

Until you run out of water you don’t realize the importance of indoor plumbing.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
