Hi, new to site so maybe this question has been asked before but my son purchased a fixer upper home with a shallow well system. A new pump was put in prior to sale by the owner so I am not sure if it was sized properly as far as hp or ?A new small bladder tank was also installed with the pump.
The 1st floor of the house is aproximately 25 feet above and 120 feet laterally away from the pump pit.
There is 1" pipe entering the basement and I believe it is 1" underground all the way to the pump . The in and out are at about 25-50 or so .
Pressure at the first floor is very weak, what do you suggest?
