Old Wind Mill

[Phred]

Harv,

Thanks for the tip.
Your right these folks claim that they can go as far as 1000 ft!
I bet the price scales with the depth though.

I would suspect these babies are pretty expensive -- they state financing one over 20 years would be about $100/month.

My guess that would equate to about $12,000.

I took down a 65' windmill tower about 5 years ago. Then last spring I came into a 10' diameter Aermotor fan assembly to put on top of it. It needs some refurbishing but I hope to get it done this coming spring. An Aermotor of this size will pull water from a depth of 1000' without a problem and pump it for miles on level ground. Hope this info helps you. New ones are expensive but if you can find a used model that may be the way to go. Also, FIASA (the Argentinian equivalent of Aermotor) windmills are available at a significant cost savings.
