Ok, anything much deeper than 25 feet will require a DEEP WELL Jet pump, (2
lines to the well) or you just will not get the water to move!
A deep well pump has 2 lines, they both run to the well, and go part way
down the well to a "JET" then from the Jet, you have 1 line that goes to the
bottom of the well, (few feet from bottom to keep from sucking up dirt) with
a FOOT VALVE on the bottom, to keep your prime.
If you do not have2 lines, you do not have a deep well pump!
Email me back directly at ttroidl@quad-b.com if you need help!
