Standard emergency blow air tanks hold 3000psi air in them. However, they aren't normally used; during normal surfacing operations, a boat comes to periscope depth, raises its snorkel mast, then forces the water out using a Low Pressure Blower, which is essentially just a large hi-capacity fan. Sea pressure isn't that much above 100', so it takes a lot less pressure to force the water out with the LPB.

How do you calculate shared well monthly cost?

To determine the cost of electricity used by the well pump of a shared well you could: 1) run the pump's electrical wiring through a electrical meter. Electrical meters of sufficient wattage are available from many hardware stores. This method is fairly exact in finding out how much electricity the pump uses. Finding out how much of that electricity was used to pump your water vs their water can be determined by installation of water meters.
