[Lowfer] 8 kHz...

Stan: I seem to recall "stainless" not being very magnetic.....some water 
well pumps have plastic housings tho.......I had the pump out three or four 
years ago for an overhaul so I am aware of what is in the ground in my 
circumstance....

I have plastic pipe to the pump and a fiberglass tank, but my house plumbing 
is copper, so I would likely have to drain the lines to prevent  ionic 
conduction interaction......

I know it sounds a bit whacky, hi....

Perhaps safer to just lower a separate transducer down the hole, but that 
brings up potential bio contamination issues....

Mike
