It is located several miles off the grid. I'm looking for a suction well the can lift water 9'-12' from a 1 1/2" driven well. Currently I have a cistern type hand pump. I'm looking for a gas powered suction pump. Or a suction pump that can run off a PTO on my tractor. Any ideas? Paul I have a shallow well at my remote & rustic cabin.

I have a point driven down 32’, which was the depth that I needed to go 7 years ago, to where I was able to attach a pitcher pump and was able to bring up water freely. The well has not given me any problems until late last year when I was not getting water up at my trailer. The pump was drawing up water down where the pump is located but I could put my hand over the output tube and could hold back the water easily. This year I have no water at all with the pump. I can put a pitcher pump on the pipe and can bring up cloudy water, but have to work pretty hard at it. There is water in the pipe about 7.5’ down from the surface, which is about the height that there is standing water in the gully where the pump. My question is, since the point is in an area now with a lack of water do I drive it down further or pull it up?. Since the water is in the pipe 7.5 its well within the 20-25’ depth. Thanks for your help. I am having shallow well problems.
