John, Thanks. That's just what I thought. You just saved me about 8 grand. After I made the post, the young lad called and told me that they were going by the plate on the wellhead, which is stamped a two-bowl pump (installed in ’52). The guy that put the four-bowl in for me never changed that plate; consequently, a year ago when the electric motor had to be replaced, this same info was used and a 30 horse electric motor was mistakenly installed. So, when they set the bowls to produce the correct amperage pull, it was turned down to the point that the flow is clear down to 620 gpm. He is only using 1/2 of the damned well! We are going to go with the Reinke System, are pumping from 147’, use 50 hp electric motors and need 40 lb at the pivot for low pressure drop nozzles. We too are on the Ogallala Aquifer; we are on the north end here in Nebraska. That is one huge ocean down there. I checked with the Natural Resources office, and the water table has only dropped 1 foot in the past 53 years. That with all these wells in use. One huge pond! Thanks for the holler, I owe ya Allan
