    In my mind, I'd rather have the faster fill time with a bigger pump, and lower cycle times.

    Problem is the current submersible pump will empty the well less than 10 minutes. Well only produces about 100gal a day. Plus’s we have to use some daily for domestic purposes. I’ll only wash my truck once a week at most.
    I really need to just drill a new well but it’s not in the cards at the moment. All three companies I’ve contacted said middle of next year at best. And I’ve already spent way to much money this year. Was just hoping to get by with what I have for now?

    Depending on your outlook, it might be a good idea to get your order in and on their calendar now, anyway. I'm already facing that problem with some new equipment orders. That is, now having to deal with far extended delivery times than I imagined not too long ago.

    If you have the room, you could put a float valve in your casing. Help regulate the amount of water pumps and gives the water table time to come back up.

    Replaced the whole AC system. Compressor gave up when it was still cold. I’ve been fighting it all summer. Finally just but the bullet and replaced it all. Hope it works? Never had to do that on any vehicle I’ve ever done before. A2695E17-4F53-4E5A-86A6-8C74703A09A1.jpeg 00907EFB-F8C1-4485-AE8F-E184A9B52E38.jpeg 74CB6587-36AD-496E-AB2B-15C22A57CBB5.jpeg

    Finally got another trench dug and new water line all the way into the shop. We have water now!!!
    Wife helped back fill with the skidder. Got a drum of oil, antifreeze and washer fluid delivered to the shop. I built a 12’ long shelving unit to at least get some crap up off the floor. Not quite organized but at least most of its in one location now?
