For personal reasons we are going independant. Meaning, we are going off grid and due to recent events with the water company we are about ready to tell them where to stick it.
Now, I need information on water wells.
I am originally from the "city", my husband is originally from the country.
We live in Southern Indiana. Have 3 children and a hobby farm. This summer we are hoping to be able to put up our 21x41 swimming pool and hot tub.
I am also disabled in which I have to take longer showers.
Anyway, my husband has been through the whole well water thing and I have not. However, he left home at age 17, so that was I guess back in 85. He did not like the well water situation (my guessing mostly is due to having to check the tank, treat the tank, etc, his parents didn't do much of anything on the farm, the kids did). So I have heard stuff from him and I know some people have more water than others, some people use more water than others, etc.
So what I need to know is well, I guess everything that is current. I don't need to know prices on installing or anything like that, just care, pressure, stuff like that. He said I would probably want to buy botttled water to drink (I hate water to begin with). And he said I would have a problem with the pressure (is this still a case this far down the line).
Now let me add this. I dug a hole to put up a wooden fence I got about 2 feet down and I thought I ruptured the water line, I have never seen so much water underground in my life, is this a good sign?
Please let me know anything I need to know about going this route as opposed to staying with my water company and I also want to know, is there a way to use both? I know when you go solar you can stay grid tied.
Thanks
