Jeff, that's really good to know. Cause I really thought something was wrong. Makes sense now though

Ac, all you say is very well thought out. And some things I have thought about. I did purge the lines, but I'm now seeing maybe not the right way. Basically I flowed high pressure propane through it several times. But should I have done this after every time I brazed on a shorter cap tube? The cap tube I started with was the original. And I have been trimming it down as I went. When I break the system open again I will run some air through the borehole to see what kind of flow I get. When the borehole was finished my water table was at 5 feet. But we have been having crazy amounts of rain lately.
I will purge the system again before this start up. Any better methods?

Everyone of you have been so very helpful. Thanks for the time and effort you have put into helping me.
