I had a new well drilled here six years ago.(Dubuque Co.,Ia.) It is 180 feet deep and they tested it to 50 gal per minute. I don"t have that big of pump but the well driller checked it at that minimum flow.
Now just a few miles north west their wells will be over 1000 feet deep many will be 1500 plus. They have sulfur water near the surface so to get good drinkable water you have to go under it.
I noticed that billion had a plastic casing put in on his well. They offered me a plastic one. I chose a 6 inch diameter 1/2 inch thick steel one instead. I was afraid of the casing getting broken if it was plastic. It was "new" cut off oil well casings. The lengths where any where from twenty to forty feet long. They welded them together as they lowered them into the well hole. Then they sealed the out side with bituminous clay. Cost about $12,000
What is the best casing???? I did have to change the filer every few weeks for the first year. Had a lot of rust in it. The well driller said it would do that and then stop. It seems to have done that. I still seem to get a lot of fine sand in the filter. Wife finds real fine sand in the cloths dryer lint trap. I guess that is from the well water????

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
