Question: When we built our house, the well we drilled was really inadequate. We have been living with it since then because we just didn't have the money to do anything about it. Now that our financial situation is changed we are wondering if we should drill a new well or consider installing a Well Manager® on our existing well.
Answer: If it is uncommon where you live for a well to be this poor, then I would consult a well driller and get his input. If, on the other hand, poor wells are common in your area it may pay to think about a Well Manager® instead. The first step in making the decision should be a test to see how much water your well is producing. If it is making 3/4 of a gallon per minute you have over a thousand gallons of water per day. If the well is producing less than that, the choice depends on the odds of a new well being better. It is possible to live with a one quart per minute well, if you have a Well Manager®. A 1/2 gallon per minute well can be fairly comfortable if you do not expect to water shrubs, etc
