" That sounds like you had a jet pump.
KC appears to have a regular submersible.
Our neighborhood got by with 2" wells (still at 200') using surface
water (suction) pumps for decades, then around 95-2000 they started
sucking air and you had the choice of converting to jet or punching a
4" and using a submersible.
Since I do not irrigate, my 2" well was holding but I decided to go
the 4" route preemptively in 2001 as part of a total overhaul of my
water system. "


Yes, jet pump sounds familiar and the drilled part may have been only
6" in diameter.
The well only made up about 1.5 gallons per minute and I remember
running out of water (pump on continually) during one house party with
over a dozen guests flushing and washing continually.


I can't imagine how you were able to live like that.

I think we are required to show 3.5 gpm here...
