a home well is not a irrigation well
What's the difference? Diameter? I'm building a house in Florida and want to be set up for irrigating a couple acres.
i am also interested in the difference between a home well and irrigation well.
There are legal/permitting differences, then there are the engineering/practical differences. Starting with the latter, your home uses maybe 4-5 gallons per minute(gpm), with everything running. I'm irrigating 1 acre, 6 inches per month, which is about 30 min at 150 gpm, every day. A 4 inch well is going to dry up at that consumption rate. You can go bigger diameter or deeper with the well, both are more expensive. In S Fl. water table is very shallow. So you can cheaply dig a pond and pump out of that, or what Im doing, dig a small "pond" more like 5ft x 5ft hole as deep as I can, backfill with porous material, install the 4 inch well through the porous material. You will effectively have a well with a diameter 5ft x 5ft at the top. This can be permitted, just like a normal well. Downside is contamination much easier. I wouldn't drink out of this well if I was in an area with extensive conventional ag, but my area is surrounded by 5 acre homesteads. Regardless, you need to treat your drinking water anyway, at least softening, iron and sulfur are common contaminants, not toxic to health, more like taste/odor issues.
Water should not be stopping you in S. Florida. We have unlimited water 3-10 feet right under your feet. Well drillers are all over the place and waiting for your call. I work in a related industry, if you need a well driller quick and cheap, send me a PM.
