Hi,
I live 50 miles north of Seattle. I had 2 wells drilled 4 years ago. The first was 525 ft. deep and was nothing but salt water. The second well is 12 ft deep and has fresh water.
I want to put a submersible pump in it.
here's the specs on this well
12 GPM
3' DRAWDOWN IN I HR.
DEPTH OF WATER IN WELL IS 8.5 '
6'' PVC WELL CASING
200' from home
My well driller told me a 1/2 hp 115v 10gpm pump would be fine to use, but I am concerned that with such a shallow well, wouldn't I have to use a flow restricter so as not to exceed 10gpm? If so, which type would you recommend?
