sciotoguy,
For many years, we used an air compressor to "lift" water to a holding tank from which we then pumped and pressurized the water to a standard pressure tank to supply water to the house(s). This system, in fact, was used to run two households for several years. You have to make sure the air line is submerged deep in comparison to the lift involved. This method was used as a standard procedure across much of this area of Texas because it provides a means to "aerate" the water and hence neutralize the iron deposites, before entering the household. It worked very well and pushed very surprising large amounts of water. A holding tank is needed to enable a steady flow of water. As the air pressure builds in the well head, a large push of water come up each time the pressure overcomes the g force of the water and then decreases with the release/gush of water into the holding tank and then the cycle starts again.
Can't offer any info about the Geyser but know for sure this technique works very well.
I'd give you specs on the set-up but it is now in about 20 feet of water(pump, tank and all) providing submerged structure to the fish in Nova pond.
