4 hours of pumping constantly is a pretty long time. It should fill back up so I don't think you need to do much to it. Have the water tested and get some purifying filters. I live on a well here in MI but mine is about 180 ft deep. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1295078 hmm that gives me some kind of hope!!! I didn't realize you can't pump full time. i was thinking to fill up my pond, keep putting fingerling bass, snails, and that kind of stuff in it, and then if the shiznit hits the fan, I can still feed my kids. I dont know what the hell I am doing in southern arkansas... I'm from minnesota where we have water everywhere. I'm bascially me and kids against world... I want to know we have some kind of security. We live out on 25 acres way from anyone, which is a bonus in my opinion. I have my garden growing, and all that, but if we needed to 'survive' ... well, I want water, I feel like filling the pond back up is top priority right now. I still have about 10 fingerlings in there, and if I can get it up and going, I'm fixing to have them come put crappie and more bass. I noted the water level when I finally gave up a little while ago... we'll see if it rises some by tomorrow. I'm serios, I'm fixing to harness myself and go down there, clean it out, and get that damn cement block out of there. Maybe even try to dig some deeper... is it just dirt on the bottom of wells? Quoting: Murmuring_Sparrows I'm up on the Arkansas river near Ft Smith and I've got the same problem. I'm kind of leary about climbing down in the old well. I'm thinking more of sinking a pipe closer to the house and putting in a pump or a lift bucket. There are lots of old concrete wells around the area and none of them seem to be in use. Do you have city water now, or a well? I'd love to get in touch with you. GLPers need to help each other.
