Getting water out of a well with air pressure.
https://www.iamcountryside.com/self-reliance/diy-airlift-pump-design-pump-water-with-compressed-air/
I am looking for an air pump that I can use with my well. I already have a pump, but I thought I would try out using an air pump.
I have an DC 1 HP motor that I have running directly from solar.. I am looking for an air compressor I can use with this motor to pump the water out, I hear I only need 15 PSI to get this job done…. Anyone have ideas?

Thanks Mike…
Yes I am doing it now in my fish tanks but I am only lifting like 12 feet to filter my water with fish.
Looks like he has a good setup.
