We have a 2 inch well that servies both our sprinkler system AND our home. The depth to water in my well is about 12'.
I have a 60' horizontal run from the well to where my pump is - which sits about another 1 foot above the ground. Then our pump is hooked up to a pressure tank.
I was able to hook up a 1HP shallow well jet pump, but was only able to pump about 9 GPM, while I need about 15-17 GPM.
Someone suggested using a sprinkler pump instead - that it would supply the needed GPM. Would that work?
Or would i be better off going with a 1-1/2 HP shallow well jet pump?
The well is pretty much brand new and produces plenty of water (they were pumping probably 30-40GPM out of it when they hooked up a gas pump to it at the time of drilling).
Thanks in advance for you guidance!
