I have washed a 2" PVC down to 26 ft and the static water level is 8 ft from the ground surface. This would give me 18 ft of water in the pipe. The sand looks like a medium grit sand at this level.

Question:

1. Since this well is at 26 ft and the static water is 8 ft, would a 1 1\4 - .010 - 5 ft long well screen be a good choice? If this is not a good choice, what would you suggest?

2. If the static water level were to reach below the 18 ft level, the top of the 5 ft well screen, would the pump stop pumping water?
