i am looking to drill or hammer a shallow well for my pond? I want to have a timer on the pump, what to use"? I would like to learn a brief start to finish way to do this, such as do I need casing, foot valve etc. on drive point. Was told the first table will be found between 40 and 80 feet. For this purpose what type of pump. Was also wondering about a rumor I heard about shallow wells, is that the water could be high in iron or sulfer and would kill the fish in the pond, plus livestock would not drink out of? Please help me,also my location is in south east Texas.
