Reading some other discussions on Hauling water. I was just wondering how many people use Sandpoints to access groundwater?

I guess, I grew up with them as we have lots of sandy soil and fairly high water table, but for those who are not familiar with them they are basically a perforated pipe (perforated for about 3 feet or so, that you can basically work down into the ground into a vein of water, and you can suck the water up as it passes throught the pipe/point. (To get them made, you have to bring a sample of sand so they can be specifically made so they don't let sand in but just the water.

Secondly, am wondering if we can get a solar pump that will suck out of a sandpoint? Currently we use an electric pump at home and gas motor off site.

Thanks!
