Here's the background: I bought this property 4 years ago with an existing well. Here's the stats:
1005' Deep
80" Static water level
3 gpm flow tested
Water was hit at 980'
5gpm 2 horse Goulds pump
I had a 1500g cistern installed with a booster pump and it's worked okay the last few years. When people visit I've had some really bad luck with the system, there's been times the last few years that I've been hauling water for weeks at a time. I decided I wanted a supplemental well that could give me some redundancy and maybe be the main water source for my house and I could use my current setup for irrigation.
I made a road to the back of my property, it's about 500 feet long and 100 feet down. It ends just uphill of a dry creek. I got the good news from my driller yesterday.
210' Deep
30' Static Water level
35+ GPM, he said he hit a massive fracture
Water hit at about 190'
I'd like to set up a CSV for constant 60 psi. My TDH calculations show about 420 TDH. I plan on using 1.5" pipe from well to well house (~500ft). I think a Goulds 10gpm 2 horse pump would work well for my application. My house is pretty big, 4400 sq. ft with 4.5 baths, but a 10gpm pump should be fine right? I'm still in shock they found so much water, so shallow compared to my current well, hydrogeology is crazy.
