[QUOTE="sierra1995, post: 225923, member: 1059"] yea 4" cased. i only use the water for irrigating the lawn, so i didn't bother testing it. I am in the Soo Aquifer, and there are irrigation pivots watering quarter sections north and south of me so i didn't see a need to test. I have a 2-1/4 HP pump, capable of about 200 feet of head. I didn't do a pressure tank or anything like that, just have a manifold off the top of the casing to hook garden hoses up to, and a simple on-off switch by the well. I can run 3 rain train sprinklers with excellent pressure. the original flow test Paul did only says 6 gallons per minute, but like i said i can run 3 rain trains, couple probably run 4 without seeing a drop in pressure or flow. i had Paul install a drain back valve 8' below the surface so i don't ever have to do any winterizing, and also a small pressure relief valve on the manifold that i have set at 75 PSI, so in case a hose gets kinked or something like that, i won't cause too much back pressure on the pump.
