Storage tank to Home

[Palm Sands Ranch]

Hello all, needing help with a new set up. I catch rain water and haul water to fill above ground water tanks, I am putting in a new manufactured home that will be appox 160' from the tank, it is nearly level ground. I will be burying a water line from the pump to the home, need help with sizing a good non-submersible pump and pressure tank to handle that distance and provide good pressure to the house. The pump will be sitting right next to the water tank. Currently I have a Harbor Freight 1hp shallow well pump with its own pressure tank (small), it does a great job with pressure connected to a 3/4" 100' garden hose but I know the cycling would burn it up in no time if connected to a home. Would sure appreciate any help given. Thanks

Yeah those Drummond pumps will work, but not made to last very long. They are the only pump I know of that says "not made for continuous duty". Which just means they are VERY lightly built.

Any Jet pump that can build max 70 PSI or more will work with a 40/60 pressure switch. When used with a Cycle Stop Valve this would deliver strong constant 50 PSI to the house. A 1HP shallow well jet pump like this will work. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-shallow-well-cast-iron-jet-pump-1-hp

Then all you need to control it is a PK1A kit with a 4.5 gallon tank and a 40/60 switch like this.
