I've bought an old farm property in West Virginia. On it there's a 6 inch diameter well, 80 feet deep, with 55 feet of water in it (not tested yet).

I'm a reasonably good do it yourselfer but have no real plumbing experience. I'm casting about for any information that explains all the components that go into a pump system for my well. So far I've had no luck.

Anyone here know of a decent tutorial that explains how to go about putting together a pump and pressure tank, with all the other sundry components?

Thanks,
DSK

Here is a link from my site. It is not the best, but you will get the idea. Post back with questions.

Here are the two best tutorials on wells and pumps that I've ever seen.
www.peekspump.com (Ron Peeks aka "Pumpman")

They'll get you going.
Good luck!
