Hello Everyone,
I am new to this. I have talked to numerous people in the well business and irrigation business. Heres my setup. I have right now, a flotec 1/2hp on a FLotec 19 Gallon pressure tank. I have 3 well points driven, first is a 10ft Brady to a depth of 30ft, Second is a 4ft Brady also 30ft, Third is a 4ft at 20 ft. I have a brass check valve approx 1 foot from pump and tank on 1 1/2 line that is used after the point where all three wells are connected together. Thes static water level in all 3 wells was avg 8 ft. I started with just one well point and got no where! I was pumping about 3 gpm, with all three wells I hit a grand total of 6gpm. Best guess for my irrigation system I need about 10gpm. The heads on my system are hunter 4" pop up rotors 6 of those, and the rest are all Pop Misters or standing misters, They are divided into 3 zones. Zone 1 is 3 standing misters, and 5 pop ups. Zone 2 is the same. Zone 3 is 6 4" pop rotor type. I don't know the model numbers on the heads as they were installed before I moved in. I am also losing the prime on the pump. The first 2 wells have 3" casing driven to 20ft on each one and then the point was driven 10ft past. Any help would be appreciated on this matter. I am ready to pull it all up and throw it in the garbage!!!
