Typical well depth, static water level, draw down and rate.

As an example for wire.
If you have a 240 volt service and were to run 60amps to your pond with less than 3% voltage drop. The size of direct bury copper cable required would be 4/0 3 conductor with a ground.

I just got a price for 750 feet of copper cable, sit down now..... $12,562.50 eek Go with aluminum. It will be much cheaper, but the cable will be much larger. 350MCM.

Also, if your service is a lower voltage, then your wire size will increase.

Like esshup stated, you need to measure your actual service voltage to know where you really stand.

Esshup can white knuckle you thru this measurement wink
