It's not the depth of the well you have to be concernd about. It's the water table. ( how far below groud level is the water). A shllow well pump will only pull water to a heighth of 40 some odd feet. This is where sea leval pressure levals out and there is no more lift. If you could rig your pump to work as a jet pump you would have no problem getting the water up and if the water leval is no lower then 40' your shallow well pump should preform for you. Good luck.
