Hello, I do not know much about pumps and wells but I got a few questions about a well on my property. It has a pumphouse with well inside. Its been vandalized but here is what is left. Breaker Box. 4 inch caseing going down in the ground through a concrete pad. On top of the caseing is like a flange or manifold or cast iron well seal. from there a hole a little bigger then a quarter in the flange / seal / manifold. In that quarter size hole sat a rod coming out of a motor . The motor sat on the flange an partially in the hole. The only thing I left out is in between the motor and the flange was another manafold that the pipe comes off of an i assume water ran to the house.
1. I know its hard to assume but can you guys tell me if i have a shallow or deep well based of that?
2. Can you guess at what configuration setup this is? pump down in the well or it was up top an stolen?
3. Lastly, ill take any advice on a good pump and best way to install it on the caseing. Is there a pump that uses 120v and not 220v? I say this because my honda generator does not have a 220 hookup and it will be some time before i build a house.
* Homework to self = I know you guys are going to need to know so tommorow Im going with fishing line and a cork and i will try an drop it down to water to see how deep it is,... That is , if i can get the last flange / seal off the casing
