I have a good water well on rental property without electricity, It is 120 ft deep, water stands 30 ft from the top, It had a jet pump on it before electricy was removed, it still has the 2 black roll pipe going 80 ft into well , the jet has been removed from bottom of pipe. I need water because the tanks are going dry, the cheapest solar pump I have found is $1700, electricy would be too expensive to put back on rental propery, there is a stock tank close by I could pump water into so I have been thinking of different options to get the water up. One is to replace the jet and put a jet pump on it and power with a generator, another option to get a larger volume of water would be to replace the bottom jet and use an air compressor to jet the water up. Has anyone on the board used an air compressor to jet water and how big a compressor would you have to have to do so? I have a large generator on a welding machine to power an air compressor just don't know what size of compressor to get .
