Hi there, quick question on the recharge rate of a shallow well. I have a 2 foot diameter well 16 feet underground with about 10 feet of water when full (top of water table at this time of year). How long should it take for the well to fill to the top level? Running the well down to the foot valve (2 feet from the bottom) and leaving it for 12 hours only results in the water level reaching about 5 feet. This seems very slow. Should I wait for the well to reach top level first before beginning regular use?
Thanks everyone, all help is appreciated as I'm new to this
