Hi, we have a cabin up north in michigan with the typical shallow well set up, pump motor and tank in a well pit about 50-60 foot from the cabin. Not sure of the well depth, but everything works great. I would like to move the tank/pump to the basement of the cabin for the ease of winterization. we currently don't use it in the winter but would like to have the option for a weekend here and there. the pump motor would be lower than the well head, so the motor don't have to pull "up" to the cabin. My question is, will the shallow well pump pull water that far? I don't see why not, to prime it i figure i could put a valve in the pit so i could fill the line up down to the house, i could also use this to allow air in to drain the line for winter. any input?
thanks, Randy
