Learned a lot in the past day

1) center pipe is (1") is 60 feet
2) Casing is approx. 200 feet deep
3) water level is about 55~60 feet deep at this moment
4) Pump requires a "jet" to operate <- Never heard/ seen one before
5) New PVC pipe is very flexible, it can be maneuvered through a cabinet, a bathroom, a bedroom and through the door :-)

6) Submersible pumps are FAR FAR more efficient. a 1/2 hp submersible will do 13 GPM at 100 feet, while my 1hp (actual running draw in operation was about 900~950 watts) Jet pump can do 2 gpm at 60 feet

7) Smallest submersible pump sold is 3.5" OD (my casing is 2" ID)
