Rob; I've been looking for something like that, too. That looks like a nice 
one, but would cost over $1000 for a deep well. I like the fact that it can 
be hooked into the pressure tank so the house water could be used normally, 
but the connection to the house from my well is 5-6' underground (no pit) so 
I don't know how I would connect it to the house water.
