The use of an existing well is a possibility but generally not conducive to a proper closed loop installation. The depth of the well and size of casing will be a consideration. Vertical loops are generally drilled by way of a 3' casing to a depth determined by the loop requirement. The well is then filled with a slurry to optimize heat transfer. The number of wells required is calculated as per the heating / cooling load of the home

Well water pressure can be indicative of a number of issues but a simple check is to ensure your pressure tank is properly charged.

The pump cut-in pressure can be determined by running your water and watching your gauge (hence the importance of a good quality gauge). It should cut in and out in 20PSI intervals.
