[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 674252, member: 3162"] Jogee you can only lift water 27 feet or so depending on the temperature outside, barometric pressure etc. The top of his water is about 30 feet down so he cannot do that. He's going to have to go with a jet pump as a minimum. He's not kidding about the cost to run 1000 foot of power either. I just paid for 1700 feet of power line in February. Inverters have come down in cost. I know a guy who uses solar trickle chargers on a deep cycle battery, has the battery hooked to an inverter and powers a pump with the inverter. I am not exactly sure what type of submersible pump he has. Nothing is automatic. He hooks up the inverter and turns the pump on manually. He takes the inverter with him when he shuts down the pump. He intends to take everything with him when he gives up the lease. The only bad thing was the cows getting into the system. He now has T-posts and wire panels surrounding it. He explained it all to me about a year ago and everything I am saying is based on foggy memories. Sorry I cannot be of any real help. [/QUOTE]
