I recently put a 300 gallon poly tank online (400 ' deep well, 100 to static WSE, w/pumtpec, water out of poly into jet pump, then into my system) in my drinking water system to provide water for peak demand due to my inadequate 1/2 gpm well. All is well and working, however, my well pump is supposed to be running at a maximum of 8.3 amps, and its actually running right around 10. I have a valve between the pump and the poly tank, and tried cutting it back while monitoring the amps, but I get it to about 9.4 until the flow sounds very turbulent, and I open it back up a little. My well pump is a 3/4 HP Goulds (just bought the house, this is the only info the driller had records for 
), but the owner's manual I have specifies it as being either a GS or LS series. My estimate on output from the pump is about 9 gpm, from a static WSE of approximately 100 feet. I was thinking of some way to throttle it back to 5 GPM. I'm sure that there is some kind of flow regulator out on the market, but being a dam engineer and not dealing with plumbing very much, I have no idea as to what would work best in this situation. Any recommendations on products and/or websites to buy from would be greatly appreciated.
