average borehole size: 8" (based on my experience)
This gives 0.35 cubic feet, which is 2.6 gallons, which is about 21 pounds.

IT DEPENDS ON SEVERAL THINGS ....

THE SATURATION OF SALTS IN THE SALT WATER AND THE TYPES OF SALTS....

THE DIAMETER OF THE BORE HOLE ...THIS WILL EFFECT THE VOLUME OF THE 1 FOOT OF WELL BORE

THE TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER SINCE THIS WILL ALSO EFFECT THE VOLUME

WITHOUT THIS ADDITIONAL INFO WE CAN ONLY GUESS....
