I pump from the well to a shed with a 500 gallon tank which then feeds the house. I am set up this way because the well is a very slow producer.
My well runs out of water once in a great while under 2 different circumstances:
1: No rain for months on end. I understand this one.
2: Very heavy rain for more than 5 or 6 days at a time. I don't understand this. It can drizzle or rain moderately for months at a time and everything is fine, But if it starts raining really hard for a week or so the well runs dry.
It's like when it rains too much the water gets diverted somewhere else or something.
I have an alarm on my tank so if it drops below 400 gallons I know the well is dry again and we can go into super water conservation mode.
