Deep water... [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

One point to keep in mind is the usage of this water at different times of the year.  Usually it
works that when you have "extra power" as in the summer and when its hot is when you need the most
water.  I suggest staying with a 48v DC or AC pump, possibly trackers to give you the best usage when
you don't need the water.  As to which pump?  For such hi volumes, its hard to beat the cheap price
and years that a standard AC pump will last.  As someone else said,  good luck on this one.
