Hi ya'll.
I have a idea that I'm hoping that someone here might
be able to help me with.
Where my father lives the water table is close to the
surface.  The well we used for household water was only
18 feet deep.  We had another well we used for stock
and such that was 40 feet deep.  I had an idea to use
these wells to cool the shop but I never got to try it
before.  Mainly because we needed the water for more
important things, you know like drinking .  Now that
they have "city" water for the house and the stock is
long gone.....
What I was thinking of doing was this.  I connect the
shallow well to an old tractor radiator.  I run a pipe
from there to valve then to a "T".  One leg of the T
goes to a valve then to the deep well.  The other leg
goes to a check valve then to a pump.

                                                   þ 
                                                deep
                                                well
 
I shut the deep well valve (#2) and pump water from the
shallow well.  Then shut the shallow valve (#1) then
open the deep valve (#2) and pump water from it.  I
then turn off the pump and open the valve from the
shallow well.
My thinking is the "outlet" side would be 22 feet lower
then the "inlet" side and siphon action would cause
cool water to flow through the radiator and a fan would
blow air across it and voila!  Cheap cooling.
Well is my father right, is this crazy?  Or will it
work?  Or do you have no idea?
