    Abandoned gravel well - want to use for irrigation

    thank you for that, i'll watch the video. if i'm using jet pump or submersible - do you know how I would know if my well can produce 8-9GPM consistently, which pressure would I need to buy and what size tank?

    Abandoned gravel well - want to use for irrigation

    few more questions: If I do go submersible, do I need an air tank to accompany it? Are there good schematics out on the internet for this because I have not come across anything clear as yet. THank you.

    Abandoned gravel well - want to use for irrigation

    That's a great tip - so basically pump with a sump or other style pump, see what the obstruction is and go from there? I am leaning toward jet pump if my depth is indeed 11' - but I will not know unless I expose. If there is indeed an old pump in there do you think hooking it and pulling is an...

I have lived at my home for 3 years and I was told that there is a gravel well on my property. I have begun doing research this year to hopefully use the well to irrigate my...
