One bit done. Got down in the pit and opened well cap and checked water depth. Approx 8.5 ft. I had 8 written down. Ran water to keep pump running. Could see level drop pretty quick. Was about 12ft after a minute or so. Only dropped a little more after that. 5min in it was holding at 12'8" from cap. So that is my active pump depth. Pump in house might be 3ft higher. So calling it 16ft. That's within reach as a shallow jet pump and I run a 1/2hp convertible with ejector in the well. Just need to decide if a higher HP would be better.
@dartnabout - no I didn't pump the tank full of air yet.
