Hi everyone,
I have a new well on my property. The diameter of the pipe is 5 inches and the water is at a depth of 60 feet. The water level in the pipe appears static. (We live in a valley and my neighbors' wells tap into the same aquifer. They've used 35 gpm pumps for at least two decades now, apparently pumping as much water as they need for irrigation.)
I bought a used 10-gpm pump from a relative to irrigate my lawn using two tractor sprinklers, but the pump failed within a week. I'm not sure why.
My plan is to buy a very cheap 30-gpm Hallmark pump and use that to develop my well. One reviewer suggested replacing the ground wire to improve the Hallmark's lifespan. Is that something I should consider? The other problem is that the Hallmark is a 2-wire pump and I have a 3-wire setup, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
If you don't recommend the Hallmark, is there another cheap ~30-gpm "burner" pump I can buy somewhere?
Eventually I'm going to replace the Hallmark with a Grundfos, but I'm not sure which of their models I should purchase. Please offer suggestions, preferably in the 25-30 gpm range.
My well provides water for my house and for irrigation of my backyard garden/orchard. Should I consider a CSV? If so, where can I buy one?
Thank you for the help.
