the circulation pump is a 1/12 H.P not a 1/2 H.P.
big difference there sorry...

I am using a 1/2 H.P. 150 watt circulation pump


BTW: if anyone is following this.

I inserted a single loop into the 2" well casing and had difficulty with the loop kinking , so I pressurized the line with 80 psi air and re-inserted the loop into the casing.

I suppose that the pressure helped to open the kink when the end of the loop reached the bottom of the well casing.

the air flowed through the loop and the air entering into the end of the tube that loops into the well and back out again was apx 100 F because it is comming from an air compressor , the air exiting the other end of the loop was apx 60 F , so the single loop seems to be working well using just air through it.

I would really rather use copper tubes in the well but I dont like the idea of having metal tubes in my well.

next week I will try a test run of mineral oil through the single loop to test for the cooling capabilities before continuing.

the 200 ft rolls of the poly tubing cost $38.00 each.
