Can this be mounted upside down?
Hanging this in my metal building this morning and I would like to go back to back with the meter. If I can mount it with the main breaker down, I can put the meter base back to back and feed through the back of both… so… can I?
If location matters, Virginia, USA.

What type of filtration system should I be looking at?
Just had a new well drilled ~300' deep.
After a month we had it tested and these were the results:
| Parameter | Result |
|---|---|
| pH | 5.7 |
| Total Iron | 0.04 mg/l |
| Manganese | 0.036 mg/l |
| Total Hardness | 140 mg/l |
| Alkalinity | 60 mg/l |
| Total Copper | 93 ug/l |
| Total Lead | 8.0 ug/l |
| Nitrite + Nitrate | 11.5 mg/l |
| Fluoride | <0.10 mg/l |
| E.coli / Total Coliform | Absent |
We have Waterdrop G3P600 installed for drinking water, but would like to filter the whole house to be drinkable water and the lead isn't looking great. The house is 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, with 4 people, if that makes a difference.

I recently had a new water well drilled and am floating the idea of using the old well for an open loop system. My old well is 60' deep and produced about 5gal/min. My house(2500sq/ft split level ranch style) is currently heat/cooled by 2 heat pumps, a ducted 1.5ton and a 1 ton ceiling cartridge.
Questions:
Would it be legal to pump&dump in/out of the old well(I live in Virginia)?
Would this depth+GPM be adequate?
Would a system like this be cost effective over the heat pumps with energy savings? Both heat pumps are less than 2 years old.
I know these questions would be more accurately answered by a professional coming out to look, but just wanted to see if it would even be worth looking in to.
Side note, my new well is 280' deep and 50gpm capable(20gpm with current pump).
