How much room should there be between the bottom of a pump and the bottom of the well? In 97 we measured the bottom of the well at 384' and the pump was sitting at the end of 17pcs of 2" galvanized = 357', with water at 240'.
Now, using a very sophisticated $9.95 fishing line counter, the bottom of the well measures 360' and the water at 180'. which if this were true, would seem to indicate that the pump motor was essentially sitting in the silt as the pump / motor combo measures just over 4'. Water has always been clear.
