I currently have a goulds 33GPM pump, 2HP goulds contant pressure controller 3 wire (BF20). This pump is not large enough for my home and my landscape. When my sprinklers change zones I have a pressure drop inside my home due to the pump not being large enough.
Pressure on system is a constant pressure pump. 68-75PSI is the range.
Things on my well pump
Geothermal- when on uses 9GPM
Home with 5 bathrooms
4000sq/ft home with sprinkers in ceiling
Large spouts in bathrooms for filling bath tubs.
2 Acres on well pump! (i know its only 1/2 acre is allowed. however this is what they did)
Currently when my sprinklers are on the geothermal is barely getting the water it needs. If i try to have the bath tub on it doesn't really work too well.
I love my home, my worry is if im gone and my geothermal and outside sprinlers are on. If my house as a fire, my ceiling sprinklers will not have enough GPM to work.
Well depth- 78 feet
Pump depth 72 feet with 6 feet of stainless
6" casing
well capacity 100GPM per well capacity
My water level is at 7 feet
The company who drilled my well told me you usually get a pump thats 1/2 of what your well is to stay in the save zone so you dont risk running your well dry.
Here is the well pumps I am looking at.

Now, when buying a new well pump. I don't have to get a new motor or controller correct? I can literally just buy the submersible wet end? Something that works with a 2HP controller, I would assume that means i have a 2HP motor attached on it as well?
I am looking at the 55GPM because it has 2 more phases than the 60. That would also reduce electrical cost and it would be less stress on the pump, correct?
The 55GS flow range is 20 – 80 best efficency is 55GPM 7 stages
the 60GS flow range is 40-80 best efficency is 60GPM 5 stages
I dont believe the 40GPM pump would only be 7 extra gallons per minute, which i dont think would help at all. As some zones by themselves bog my well pump down to around 50PSI.
The 55GPM pump has a flow rate of it seems a minimum of 20GPM, as the 60GPM pump seems to have a starting range of 40GPM, Which might be way too much water at start up.
Can anyone else help.
I can get a new old stock 60GS for pretty cheap.
