this is what i have got a 1hp submersible pump set in the 4 inch well at about 100 feet i then have 1 inch pvc schedule 40 run 1300/1400 feet with a elevation rise uphill about of about 160/170 feet to my house that i just put in. i ve had to adjust the pressure valve to about 130 psi just to get water to flow out of the pipe at the house with very little pressure. so my question is what it the best system to use, should i get a higher hp pump for the well or should i pump it to a cistern type storage with float valve at the house with a say 1/2hp pump for the house system? could i just hook up the 1/2 hp pump to the line coming up the hill in the house then to a pressure tank for the house supply. i would like a very good gpm/ pressure flow at the house so i want to do what would be the simplest way to accomplish this. i have 2 100 gallon wellmate fiberglass tanks i can use for storage but not quite sure how to plumb them to a float inlet type cistern system. they inlets in both the top and bottom. thanks for any help in advance.
