    they have their issues too... if you are drawing too much, you can and will pack your entire system full of sand/soil/shit. I've used airlift systems while diviing to remove the bottom of lakes, rivers, etc. know the capacity of your well before you install one, or you might end up grouting the inside of your pipes!!!

    Hey... Fly me up there and we'll get drunk and fix it... Two heads or four depending how drunk we get are better than one. And too while your melting snow... if you get some of that yellowish looking snow it all good... It's just Margareta mix made with lemon that will melt just fine.

    c'mon up Evo! I figure it'll take anothe 10 days before I have to get off my deck for snow... should give you enough time to get here to look for the yellow stuff.

    Right now, I have 4-5 feet of virgin snow just outside any door, I'm not too worried about water

    eta: bring justa with you, the crisp air will be good for her!!!

    Is your pump a submersible one or is it accessible?

    My pump is at 250 feet and my well is 350 feet deep.

    What do you mean grouting the inside of the pipes?

    You well should just have a pressure switch, if you are getting power to the switch then your switch is just dirty, or stuck. Ants love to get on my switch and mess up the contacts.

    If it's 208 or 220 you might have lost one leg of power.

    my well is at 290... the pump should be at 280ish. all contacts everywhere, look clean and ok...

    helo.... an airlift, from that kind of depth will rip the stucco off walls, or worse. when I was diving, we wouo blow cinder block sized chunks of granite 60+ feet in the air from 100 feeet. from 300, they would be GONE!!!
