New well for new construction.
I've got quotes from 2 companies, both of which are quoting 5" wells, which are typical in the area. I expect the well to be 100-150' deep based on others in the area.
I've been offered a 3/4 hp pump at 10 gpm, or an upgrade to a 1 hp of unknown flow rate.
My only reference point is that in my current house, I have a 3/4 hp pump, set around 150' and a 44ish gal tank. Everything seems ok, but I sure wouldn't complain about more volume for the shower. The system runs 4-5 sprinkler heads with no issues, so it's ok overall, no real complaints.
How do I decide how much flow I need, and how big of a tank to get? I do plan to have a multiple-head, multiple-valve master shower with 2 valves minimum, possibly more with 3/4" or larger. That's my only real high demand. I'll have a sprinkler system, but I don't exactly need to water the entire lawn at once.
Thanks in advance!
