If the well will flow 10 GPM and not draw down more than 30 ft or so you can run a jet pump from the surface. This would reduce initial costs, and it
could be made to be removed in the winter. 50 feet of plastic pipe and a jet at the bottom would not be much to pull. and would allow inexpensive
testing of the capacity.
Another thought is to use compressed air bubbler type system it is way cheap all you need is 2 hoses (one inside the other is great, or as shown in the
video. The air bubbles up from the bottom inside the hose/plastic pipe, and pumps the water with it. It does not pressurize the water at the top, it
needs to flow into a reservoir. Almost all railroad boiler water for locomotives was pumped using that method out west during the steam era. I
personally knwe a RR employee that was the technician for 35 years, maintaining them. Cheapest setup to get flow rates and determine usability without
high $ investment. Jim
