I have a sand point well driven 9 feet that produces approx 10 gpm. Previously I had a 3hp gas-driven centrifugal pump, that filled a couple of barrels on top of the camp that gravity fed sink/toilet/shower/kitchen. I want to switch to a pressurized on demand system.
It has to run off 12V batteries, trickle charged by small solar panels.
The camp mainly gets used weekends in the summer.
Can I get away with a flo-tec or shurflo on demand pump without a pressure tank? I would prefer to get a higher quality pump but I am worried that batteries will not be sufficient to get a 115 volt pump working properly.
Thanks
