    what rating suction line should I use?

    I am scrapping my old poly line going from my well to the pump. I am tired looking for the leak. I have about a 75 feet length to go. Should I use 100 psi or 160. Whats the disadvantage if I go with 100 psi. Its a shallow well with a 3/4 horse goulds jet pump. Appreciate any suggestions.....
