I drilled a well in my backyard with PVC pipe and a water hose down to 50’. Water table is at 21’. Google “drill your own water well” and there is a website that explains everything. My pump won’t lift from that deep so I need to start again and use bigger pipe so I can use a jet pump. Of course, it would be useless without electricity so I am thinking about just putting a hand pump on it.

Use a submersible pump—cost about 70 bucks.
