I'm getting the pump pulled and replaced tomorrow and trying to decide on size of pump.
Questions are two fold--
1) which pump to use in the current usage situation and
2) which pump If i decide to add sprinklers for about 3/4 acre
Here's what I know,
Well depth 660' (??? 4th hand info)
Water Level 269' (measured today while partially working pump was pumping 4gpm- no draw down for this limited test)
Pump level -- (won't know until we pull the pump)
Current pump 1HP
Current usage == pump and dump geothermal @ 6 gpm (99% of the time when geothermal running) 10 gpm (1% of the time when geothermal running) (only needs about 5psi)
House usage with 5 adults, 3 children, 3 bathrooms
The 1hp pump's barely provided enough water for the last few years. We've turned off the geo when we're showering, etc.
Thanks
