I wanted to drive a sand point well, but it seems like I might have to go about 45 to 50 feet to get into a few feet of
water. I’m in Norh Florida so the ground here is mostly sand.
Two questions: can you drive a sand point that deep? I’m not afraid of hard work, just whether it’ll fall apart on me.
Second, what kind of hand pump would you recommend for a static water level of about 40 feet? My understanding is that on a sand point the casing itself is meant to be the suction pipe, so it doesn’t seem like a good idea to have one that uses a drop pipe. Are there pitcher pumps that will pump from that far down? I always see 25 feet listed as the limit.
