Ok so in 2006 we dug a deeper well as what there wasnt able to keep the cows going.
Its only four liners deep but a good spring. Weve since gone from 30 cows to 55 and put in a new palour which takes more water .
Anyway its seems to be struggling and has airlocked twice this week and even when pump is off, the well is not rising as it should.
Whats the best course of action? Dig another similar well and run two pumps or bore a good deep well and use it on its own.
Anybody else finding springs under pressure?
