160 feet down for my well, going on 23 years. Replaced pump once. Make sure you get a big enough pump to support lawn irrigation. I have a big yard with 22 zones and have run a 1 HP pump since the get go. My water is iron free, but I do have manganese that has to be run through a softener designed for it. I also use a regular salt-based softener. If the well hits water shallow that has bad iron, they can keep drilling and often find better water deeper. Make sure you use a good-sized pressure tank, it helps with the softening. Good luck!
