I love this topic!
I have a 1 acre in middle Georgia that gets as low as 2-3’. 6’ max typically.
Had received a quote from a local well driller and was quoted $15k for 200+ feet and 5hp pump motor.
I went back and requested the specs again because it’s been a while but pretty certain they quoted 75/gpm.
It was just too expensive.
I do have a well for the “camp” that’s a traditional well for drinking water.
It runs on 240v and I actually have it running on solar power.
I thought about using it on occasion but just figured it may be inadequate nor would want to burn a pump up or whatever.
Seeing others replies to this topic… I see others do use their primary well pump. But it was only the overnight hours.
Maybe I should increase my solar battery power and shoot for running my primary on a scheduled basis.
It’s about 200’ from the pond however.
Thoughts? Would I wear it out?
Could it make a difference?
