Default Well question

On a sand point well, I know water can be pumped from the well. *Does it

On an open loop system it is possible to take water from one well, run it
through an exchanger and then put it back into the ground via a separate
well. *If the sand point works, then it won't be necessary to run a drain
to the pond.

Yes, but...

The engineering is the sticker. How fast are you going to pull water
out and how fasst will it perculate back? You could easily pull more
out than will perculate back in.

You don't say what your goal is. Water loop for a heat exchanger?
