Information regarding your well may be obtained from your well Driller’s log.
If no information is available, you can determine the depth of the well by lowering a heavy
(small) weight tied to a long cord or fishing line. Lower the weight to the well bottom, take
up the slack, and mark line where it meets the top of the well. Remove the weight from the
well and measure line to determine well depth. Repeat the operation with a dry cord. Mark
the line at the top of the well and where it become wet. You now know where is the water
level.
Please remember, a submersible pump should not be lower than 10 feet from the
bottom of the well and no higher than 10 feet below the water level.
If you are replacing your old pump with a new pump of similar horsepower and capacity,
install the new pump at the same level in the well. If a new pump is larger in horsepower
(ie: replacing a 1/2 Hp with a 3/4 Hp) or if the pumping capacity is higher (ie: providing
7gpm instead of 5 gpm), set the pump deeper in the well provided that the well will support
the additional volume.
