I am having some real challenges with getting water out of the ground here in Orlando. Soil is sand and the water table is at 17'. I tried a shallow well with no success (tried two different shallow well pumps). Went to plan B and sunk a 4" sleeve 19' down. I currently have a 1Hp deep well jet pump with a two pipe system. The top of the 1 1/4" dia 5'long s/s well point is at 23' (6' below water). on top of the well point is a check valve, then 2' of PVC then the deep well device. Then the two pipes up from there. I have made sure the entire system if full of water and tried the priming process over and over. It will pump a little (maybe 1/2 gal) then slow to a trickle, pump a little more, slow until it finally stops.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Harry - Orlando
