My brother has a well pump that was flooded by Isaac and the storage tank washed away. After Katrina he moved his HVAC units etc on platforms to be above the floodwater but his plumber said he could not move the well pump above the storage tank.
Is there a reason not to have the pump higher than the storage tank? Air in pump, priming, etc...?
He wants to move the pump higher to protect the electrical connections from floodwater and he might move the tank somewhat higher as well and give it a better attachment to the structure.
The well is 1200 feet deep into an Artesian aquifier with some pressure.
Thanks,
Billy
