I have a flotec 4322 3/4 jet pump pulling on a 3/4 inch PE tube going to the foot valve. i haven't checked the static depth of the water yet. the pump manufacturer recommends a 1.25" suction pipe which will not fit down my schedule 40, 1.5 inch well casing!.
I am trying to remedy low flow and from what i read putting a larger diameter suction pipe my help. is this the case?
also as stated i have a 1.5" casing, what would be the maximum size suction pipe i can send down the casing?
and lastly if i can only put a 3/4" I.D. suction pipe down the casing would it help to step up the size to 1.25 from the well seal to the pump?
