Hey T_Bone,
The only reason I'd guess for setting the pump so high was that the geology was really crumbly and the driller expected large amounts of debris. Exactly what Roy's getting.
Around here, when there's too much grit during drilling the driller will move elsewhere. Most everybody here has some, the question is how much. I didn't bother with a filter until I got tired of cleaning the clothes washer screens.
