I am drilling a well on my place for some light irrigation such as watering our pecan trees and maybe a gun or two to water one field and filling a fish pond. We are permitted for and expect to get 70 GPM at around 150 feet. Met with the driller today and he is drilling a 17" hole and setting 8" casing with a gravel pack. The driller seems very knowledgeable and has drilled a lot of wells in the area but is asking me a lot of questions on how I want things and frankly I don't really know what he is talking about.
I guess there a variety of different types of pumps (I have 220 single phase) and types of things they can do at the surface. He was talking about if I wanted a pad or a sleeve, if I wanted a pressure tank, and some other things I don't remember. I trust the guys judgement on setting this up but I am looking for any advice I can get on things to ask for or certain ways to do it.
Basically I would like to run the appropriate sized pipe (2" maybe) underground to by the pond and several risers that I can connect to for watering things.
