I have a shallow well pump, located in the house, which is built on slab. I understand that the lifting ability of the average pump is 25 to 29 feet. Am considering laying a new supply line from the well to the house, but to avoid cutting concrete, want to enter the front of the house, go up 8 feet, across a room, and back down again to the pump.
Will the temporary lift of 8 feet affect the pump's operation, or will the subsequent down section of the pipe offset that initial 8 foot lift, so the pump will operate as if the vertical sections were not there?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
