I hand drove a 1.25" galvanized pipe 50 ft. At that depth, which is also the depth of my house well, I got into water. My water level comes up the pipe to 13ft from the surface. I hooked up a 1.50hp flotec sprinkler pump. I have a check valve installed 6 inches from the intake of the pump. The pump primed easily and began pumping water. Steady flow, however only about 2.5 gal a minute. Any ideas of how to increase my flow or why it is so low. Wrong pump? Not enough water in vein, or maybe all of the above. I don't need heavy flow, just enough to run into my pond periodically to keep it full. Speedbump guided me through my pipe driving process and hopefully he is still out there to give me some ideas again. Thanks
