Hi Bill,

I have been trying to contact you re details about your 'well pump  
breakthrough'. I've tried several times to send you an email without  
success. I have now joined this homestead thing to see if I have better  
success. The info you posted on the net is not quite detailed enough for  
me to build one. I am trying to install a small irrigation system here in  
Morwell Victoria Australia. I am hand drilling a number of 25 metre  x 100  
mm (80 ft x 4 in) wells in a fine sandy aquifer. There is plenty of water  
but it doesn't flow very quickly so linking several with compresed air  
pumps to produce a reasonable flow of water would be a good idea.  
Unfortunately the commercially available pumps are at least $1000 each and  
this makes for financial problems. If I could build them for $100 each as  
you suggest I would be very grateful. My email address is  
stevendella AT finnsheep.com I hope you are able to help.

Cheers,

Steve & Della Jones.
