Over the years, I've had piston pumps, Jet pumps, and submerisbles. I just got done installing a piston pump at a cabin I have in the Adirondacks. Not easy to find anymore and not cheap. Hooked to a drilled well that is Artesian and I've got a DC motor hooked to it. Run it off of solar panels.
At my main house with a 160 foot deep well - I used a Jet pump for years. Noisy but worked fine. Two pipe jet system so the Jet pump was in the house but the 2-pipe jet was at the bottom of the well.
Submersibles are more efficient and quieter. To each his own. The house I'm rehabbing now had a Jet pump under the house. It frozed constantly on the last owners. They had all kinds of heat tape wrapped around it along with lamps. When I got the place the pump and tank were both frozen and cracked. So I built an insulated "box" under the kitchen floor. 4" of foam on the walls and a small 900 watt "pump-house" electric heater in there. I also ran a forced-air heat duct into the "box.' I put the new horizontal pressure tank there - just under the kitchen floor. A Jet pump would of worked but the noise would of been very noticable. A submersible is in the well, quiet, cannot freeze, and uses less power then a Jet since it's more efficient. Also - pretty cheap if I opt for the $140 pump (12 GPM, 1/2 horse, 220 volt, three-wire).

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.
