maybe but i wouldnt make that assumption given that the ridges are rifled, they could potentially help flow and decrease turbulance
Nobody sets on anything other that PE around here. I've pulled 600 plus feet of 1" PE that was over 25 years old and it still looked like new. I can't imagine why anyone would bother screwing around with PCV, couplings or glue. Waste of time and money.
so you are saying that with 400' of water in the pipe there is 170 psi at pump level which would mean that the pump would have to push 170 psi plus around 40 to 60 extra which puts the head pressure at 220 or so lbs. ? Helluva a pump yes?

It would seem that it would be impossible to pump water from that depth LOL
No, the static on the 600 footer was around 60 feet or so if I recall.
So.... Is it possible to exceed the burst rating of 200lb PE under normal conditions?
Someone can do the math if they want to but off the top of my head I don't think it's possible to pump the static down enough to where the pump will still deliver and the psi on the pipe is critical
