Tom,

In this case the static water level is 16 feet down, but the delivery is about 1/2 gpm. The well is 500 feet deep, but I plan on a set depth of 300 so I should have about 400 gallons of water available and with any basic water management water should never run out.

Peter

The first question that ought to be asked here is the state of the 
well.  Is 300 feet the static water level or is it the pump level?  
Standard pump installations automatically put pumps at or near the bottom of the 
well to use the static water as a buffer if the pump puts out more than or near 
the recharge rate of the well.  But if you’re pumping at less than the 
recharge rate you don’t need to be too deep and depending on the static water 
level you may not even need to use 230VAC.
