Last summer I successfully ditched my old 2 line jet pump and replaced it with a submersible in a flow indcuer, added a CSV and a cycle sensor. The system works flawless, no more noisy pump, and constant pressure.
Its in a 30" bored well. About 55 feet deep, at the time static water was at 49 feet but it varies greatly with time of year. I put the pump 2 feet of the bottom, the flow inducer has a T on the bottom to avoid sucking up sand, bit the water is very clean.
Twice since my well has ran dry, it does always replenish but I would like to avoid this. My thoughts.
I use about 50-65 gal per day according to my softener. The static level and gpm of the well varies greatly during the year.
Pump Into an storage tank in my basement, i have the room and already have a 250 gallon tank rated for potable water. Pump it at 1gpm using a dole valve, running the pump x12 per day (every 2 hours) for 6-7 minutes as needed to keep the float switch up in my storage tank, I would have the float switch trigger a solenoid to fill the tank and the CSV would just keep the pump running at 1gpm for the 6-7 minutes until the timer cuts the 24v to the solenoid. Then as long as the float is still down it would continue to fill. The only benift to this is, I could use the well to supply my home the same time it fills the tank during high water table levels.
Then id use a grundfos booster pump to feed the Home from the storage tank. I would have the option during high or low water table times when my well yeild changes to feed via storage or pump direct. It would also be very easy to feed my outdoor hoses from the booster at all times.
Would anyone like to critique this idea? Looking for constructive feedback.
Idealy this summer I was going to dig and put in a 3000gal cistern so in case of long term dry well I could truck in water, however in 10 years that I've been here the water yeild has been consistent.
