Can anyone help?

I am going to run 500 ft of 1" poly from a tank that is fed by a spring to my house. Why type of pump should I use and what size wire would be approiate?

Thanks for your help.

What size tank?
How many GPM does the spring supply?
What elevation difference between tank and house?
How many GPM does the house require?

Without having more information, I would use a 1/2 or 3/4 hp jet pump near the spring and a Pside-Kick Tank and Accessories at the pump. This way you can use a small tank, the pump won't be cycling and you'll have constant pressure at the house.
