Since Im getting my plan together for next years planting and gardening, I was wondering what everyones take on irrigation and pumps is. I have 2 wells on this property both water levels are 19 feet below ground and the bottoms of the wells are 72 feet and 90. I dont use them and plan on borrowing some free ground water next year. I also would like to have the ability to move a large quantity of water through 2" hoses if necessary for fire emergency use, etc. I see these portable 3 and 4 inch, gas driven trash pumps for about 500-2000 $, but they have only a 25' suction head. I would like to just be able to throw the sucker head down the well and start pumping. I dont really have a irrigation system, plan or the water requirements figured out yet. Just trying to get an idea on what equipment to keep my eye out for. What all have you guys done? Reccomendations greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

scott#2

From Maryland.
One well is 24" (formed cement casing) and the deeper is 36" (brick). No one around here is on ground water, all nasty municipal water. First I need to test the water and see what goodies are in it. Someone mentioned permits for drawing large amounts of water. Dont believe it will make much difference around here, as it wont be missed by anyone. Im not gonna go nuts with it, just trying to save a few acres on an intermittent basis. Thanks for the links and info.

I feel your pain. I'm from Md too.
Just FYI you are supposed to get a permit to draw more than 10,000 gals a day.

To put an inch of water on an acre, you're talking 25,000 gallons. Hope those wells produce a bunch.

Couldn't get the numbers to work for me.

Your municipal will greatly miss selling you the water, will raise a fuss. 90% of the time, they have you on a restriction, no wells allowed.

You are talking a _huge_ amount of water you want to suck out, as I said elsewhere - oh, I hate cross-posted messages - see my message elsewhere.

Where are you located?
To obtain enough gpm & pressure for even minor league fire fighting. The absolute minimum is going to be one of these 5HP single phase units. As for capacity? A conventional 1HP pump with the deep well injector at 50ft is just a dribbling 9 gpm toy v.s a 1HP 40gpm shallow submersible .
