We made it to Fla about a year ago and have sand instead of rock now....no potential for snow here, either!
I'm going to put a well down near the back door and want to pipe it over to the back deck. I have a few old pitcher pumps that are good for shallow wells. Anyone know if I can run the pipe horizontal to reach the deck or does the pump have to be directly over the well?
I remember old houses in SC had pitcher pumps in the kitchen. I really doubt they built the house on top of the well after it was drilled.
The plan is dig an 6" or so hole with a Seymore auger. I'll use a 4" sieve stand pipe with a 1-1/4 well point inside. A couple of spring check valves in the line should do it. Anyone have any input that'll help? Thanks!
