I am considering purchasing a home that has a well on it. I am very confused as to whether or not the current well and pump are sufficient for my residential uses including watering a small lawn and flower garden.
Any help on this would be very much appreciated. Thank you
Here is what the well/pump system flow test report showed:
Well depth - 75 feet
Puup depth - 70 ft
Pump size - 1/2 hp
Static Level - 13ft
Casing size - 6 inch
Outlet pipe Diam. - 1 inch
Results - 7 GPM
Drawdown from Static Level - 55 ft
Total Drawdown to 68ft.
Coemmentary
A well/pump flow test was performed on a well with the specifications as indicated by the entries so noted.
The Flow Test comprised a Regulated Discarge from a hosebibb @ Prsesure Tank.
The Flow test was conducted for 15 minutes.
CONCLUSIONS
The Well/Pump System produced 7 GPM for the duration of the test indicating:
Moderate production for domestic household use only
Notes
System includes a 1500 gal Cistern for storage and is included in this report
Well produced 105 gallons @ 8 GPM in 15 minutes before exhaustion
Well recharge was measured at approximately 2 GPM
