I am looking to use a well that is across the street from my house and I would like to know if the existing pump is the right size and if so what size pipe to run.
The existing pump is a 1hp.
Not sure of the GPM and the depth is a question mark also.This well was already put in when the land was purchased.
it is a submersible pump though.
I would like to run from this well to approximatly 600 feet to my house. The grade change is down hill from the well to the house at about a 4 ft. drop.
I would like to have the pressure at my house to be what it is set at now (40-60 psi).
I was going to run 1-1/4" at least half way and then change over to 1". (any ideas)?
To check the output of the well we ran the pump for about 4 hours so the capacity seems to be alright.
I assume the pump GPM to be around 10 (that is pretty typical right?)
anyhelp on the sizing of the pump and pipe size to my house would be great! I know the well pump depth and water level are mysteries but if we could use worse case averages I think it will be okay.
