That's right. I thought I answered that question. I must have hit the wrong button.

Wow, no more hot water bills. You can heat the house with that water too.

Ours is 72° here in Florida.

I can't speak for all parts of the country, but it stands to reason that water can't move through clay or solid rock. That said, it all depends on the formation the water is in whether you can make a well of it or not. There are a lot of people that post on my Forum saying their wells are 600' + and...

I remember some of what I had to learn to pass the tests along the way. I never knew a thing about Transistors or Beulean theory before I started studying. I grew up drilling wells. Now if the folks would have sprung for that old used Short Wave Radio I wanted so bad when I was around 12, I might ha...

That went a bit over my head too. That's ok though, maybe Chris can't fix jet pumps on water wells. I made it to Advanced which required a minimum of 13 WPM of code. I passed, but it took a lot of listening to dot's and dashes to get there. I never really enjoyed code that much, even though I did pl...
