Hey guys,
I've been lurking around this forum for a couple years on and off and finally have a question to ask (that the search function couldn't answer ).
I've recently had a well drilled and I'm trying to figure out the proper setup for it. The well is 400' deep with water at 75', 6" casing. I get about 5 gpm from the well. The first decision to make is if I need an external storage tank or if the well will be sufficient. The well is feeding my 2 bath house with 2 adults and 2 kids with the occasional need to fill up stock tanks for animals (~500 gallons). This well is replacing an old system fed by a spring and a jet pump with an 1100 gallon tank.
We also have a garden which is fed by a drip irrigation system.
The well driller recommended a 10 gpm 1.5HP submersible pump 3 wire (I assume this is VFD) set at 380' and no storage tank. I've looked at the CSV system for a while now and they seem like the ticket here.
What are your thoughts for the right setup?
Thanks,
Eric
