When you depend on nature for your water supply, you have to make do with what you get. If you move to an area where low yield wells are common, your water supply might not be what you were expecting.

When Karen moved to the Sourland Mountains in central New Jersey, she had no idea that the area was locally known for its low yield wells. On this page are pictures of Karen’s home and gardens which she operates without ever taking more than 1 ½ gallons per minute from her well.

Every shower in this house can be run at the same time, while the dishwasher is running. Karen’s Christmas party is attended by 80 – 100 neighbors and this yard hosts several large picnics a year.

You are probably wondering how one does that with a 1 ½ gpm water supply! It’s not hard really. You simply need a Well Manager® and a little ingenuity. The Well Manager® operates the house without a thought but watering all of those gardens and potted plants requires some thought. You can’t just take a garden hose that pumps 14 gpm and let it run while you wander off because you will run out of water if you do that.

You can use drip irrigation, timers and hand watering to get the result you see here using wells with fairly low yield. As you can see, Karen seems happy with her life and the property looks more like a garden center than a lot in the Sourland Mountains. Well Manager® and Herculan ConstaBoost Static Storage Systems can create an oasis for anyone willing to put in the effort and can be used to run automated landscape irrigation systems using low yield wells. For more information on irrigation and low yield wells see http://www.wellmanager.com/wellmanager_applications_irrigation.htm and http://www.wellmanager.com/links.htm . Our Stop Loss Controls will allow you to water without running your storage empty. Stop Loss Systems allow you to be frugal and well cared for at the same time. See:
