[QUOTE="dj, post: 233270, member: 1795"] you will need to know your flow rate. If the spring can't flow enough to replace what is pumped out. well you could have spent money on a pump and well house for nothing. If everything you want to water is down hill I'd try siphoning first. At this time my spring won't flow enough to be pumped. Just siphoning with a garden hose(3/4) will take water faster then the spring will supply it. But i can drop to a 1/2 line and it will put water in the pasture and still have enough for the cows to get a drink. I also cleaned my head pressure tank this year. And I got to wondering if I wasn't doing to wrong thing. I'd hate to relieve the hydrostatic pressure and have the spring collapse further in the formation. Shutting off teh water for me. [/QUOTE]
