Hello.
I have been getting conflicting information from the person that drilled my well and the person installing my pump. So I came here to get a third opinion.
I'd like to know whether a 1.5hp, 5gpm well pump (400 ft well, pump level 280 ft) will use half the electricity to run as a 3.0hp, 10gpm well pump for the same amount of water?
There seem to be quite a few variables: total cost, cost/gallon, start stop count, lifetime of the pump. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any questions, I should be able to respond quickly.
Thanks!
