Golf,
Only second hand information about the spring. The boxes get contaminated, I haven't seen that system improved more than enclosing. Here springs are touchy sometimes when worked around they stop running. As far as the well we have a 1/2 horse stainless pump 100' down that brings water up the well bore and all the way uphill to our tank about 500 yards no problem. A solar pump system would likely work. We only get to the teens for low temps some folks use heat tape and pump houses to keep from freezing.
For drinking and cooking we use a water distiller, takes 5 to 6 hours to make 1 gallon of clean water. We run 2 and stay ahead of our water use. Back to my lane.
V/R
Bob
