what solar pump to use?

Solar pumps for your water well. If you dont need lots of water the Sureflow water well pump is fine. We tested these, and have gotten great results. Sureflow is only about 550 bucks or close to it, will do 2100 gallons per day in full sun. Nice for keeping water holes like lakes and ponds full, and keeping water cool in hot summer, helping the fish to survie the heat wave in the summer months. Average windmill makes 2 gallons per mint, the smaller sureflow does the same, at much less the cost of a 4500 windmill. The grunfos solar pump will do 3 to 5times more water. Very good pump, but prices start at 1700.00 bucks and go up. The surflow is ok, for shallow wells, but if your water is deep, the grunfos will be the answer. It will pump from 300 fto 500ft. Also will take more solar panels to run. Check with solar pump dealer for cost, and prices and specs. If you need help email us a drillcat.

Sand point well For garden or survival and farm use

Sand Point wells can be done anywhere water is shallow and formations are soft. Many ways to do it. First before starting, remember this is labor intensive and not for anyone with bot belly and soft hands. Also sand point well is great for cheap shallow water, but GPM output is limited to 2 to 12 gallons per minute, because a sand point well has small screen and casing. No matter how much water is there, you only can get so much water through this small diameter screen area. For a small garden and just to have a outlaw prepper water source, it will do and be fine.

If you plan on watering large acreages, you will need larger well. There are some DIY well links and tips at www.drillcat.com to help you.

Deep wells do. 100% of all well drilling contractors charge by the foot. So even if they charge 20.00 per ft, on a 35ft well, they would not make enough cash. This is why there favorite words are ( I found water, but it not very good. We need to go deeper.) .  Also sand point well casing is too small to install submergiable pump, so you will need centrifacal above grond pump. these are cheaper though and easy to install and can be bought at any discount lumber yard.
