I have a well on my property I'd like to make operational again. I am told it was taken out of service about 6 or 8 years ago prior to our purchasing the property. I've attached some photos since I have no data on the well or pump. What steps should I take to see if the well & pump still work? Can you tell from the photos the type of electric supply (110 or 220?) If 220, how many wire? My thought is to use a portable generator to supply power and direct wire the generator to the pump leads. Hopefully water will come out of the pipe. If it works, I'd have to provide proper electric supply from the house panel along with all the appropriate controls and piping. If I am on the wrong track, please give me step by step instructions for testing and restoring the well. I plan to use the well for irrigation and general use outside the house. The house has a new, working well system.
