• For most practical purposes, a Low Production Well is any well that has a production level that is less than 5 Gallons-per-minute (GPM).
• Production refers to a wells ability to provide water at a certain rate
• Recovery refers to a wells ability to recharge after
• A Low Production Well does not produce enough water to meet the demands of a typical house hold and requires a water storage system to supplement
• The production level of a well may need to be supplemented to meet the needs of the house hold or to meet the requirements of a financier
• The water storage system may be increased in size to accommodate very low production wells
• The water storage system may be used in conjunction with water treatment products such as cartridge filters and drinking water systems
• A low production well and water storage system may be supplemented with water deliver to meet the demands of the house hold

A well that is able to supply sufficient water to meet the peak demands of a home is considered to be a “good” well. Other wells may not be able to meet the demands of the home and are called “low-yield” or “low-production” wells.
