Steps
Measure and record the static water level before starting the test
Pump at a constant or stepped rate while logging water level (drawdown) at regular intervals
Sustain the test for the required minimum duration, which commonly ranges from 1-4 hours but can require longer protocols depending on jurisdiction or lender
Measure water level recovery after the pump is shut off
Calculate sustained yield (gpm) and document recovery time in the transaction report
Known gotchas
Required test duration and passing yield thresholds vary by state, local health department, and lender, so there is no single national real-estate standard to apply by default
A short-duration test can overstate a well's true yield compared with sustained household demand
The reported yield should reflect realistic recovery behavior, not just an instantaneous flow reading at the start of the test
