I'm building a house in New Mexico and need advice on that house.
I am currently living in Washington State and need advice on my current setup.
In NM
I have a 600' well in the valley below where my house is. The well pump fills an 1100 gallon cistern, 140' above the top of the well. There will be a 1-1/4" line going from the cistern to the basement of the house. It will enter the basement about 3' over the floor, so there will actually be about 6'-9' of head. I'd like to set up a variable speed pump on the basement floor. Any suggestions on brands? I'd like to be cost effective. I am doing my own plumbing in the house and will do the interior framing and be a helper on the wiring. It is a 3 bedroom two bath house. It is only my wife and I, with occasional overnight guests.
The house in WA
We have a 200' well. The top of it is 70' below the basement. The water comes in and hits a large blue bladder tank. Then it goes through a water purifier/softener. By the time the water gets to the top floor bathrooms there is very little pressure. Can I set up some kind of booster pump to give us better pressure? I want to spend as little as possible on this fix as we will be selling this house in a few months.
Thanks for the help
