They are out to get me.

Don't eat a bunch of baked beans... pork-sauerkraut... dried apricots... beer and hard boiled eggs with some Franks Red-Hot... etc... before you drop down in there either.
You might end up wishing you were dead...!

I could just hear all my friends at my wake..."Sure seemed like an odd place for a guy to hang himself, I mean, why drain all the water from the tank, get down in it and then have the urge to kill yourself".

I would have my girl watch me, but I think she may try and fill it full of dirt when I'm down there.

Haha! If you have a "gorilla butt" like you say, she may not be strong enough to pull you out if needed.

Good luck and stay safe!

Yeah...I'm kind of a "wide" person.

Yeah, that would kinda rule out being rescued.

Old plumber's rule- NEVER ENTER THE CISTERN OR WELL WHEN ALONE! Call anyone you trust to help/pay attention. I personally know the feeling of falling in a well & being helped out of it by my coworker. For the record, that nylon rope he drped around me hurt like hell in my side, but it got me out.

For the sake of electrical useage, make sure your pressure tank has 2lbs less air pressure in it than the cut in pressure of your pump. It will save many minutes a day of the pump kicking in and out. The hardware will last longer and your light bill is lower.

Very true. You here about that all to often. At least two to three times a year you here about this by me where someone goes into a confined space and dies.
