I need a little help here. First off, a description of what I have.
25 foot deep well
4" casing
Good volume
Utilitech 1/2 hp POS jet pump.
Questions
My Goulds jet pump housing wore out after 30 years. (They don't make them like they used to)
Only pump I could get on the weekend was a POS utilitech from lowes. Well, this pump cant keep up.
I decided since the last pump failed, and sprayed water all over my crawlspace, and im tired of listening to the pump that I would install a submersible pump instead.
My question is, how far off the bottom should I be with the pump?
If the pump is 10 GPM and im going from 1-1/4 pipe to 3/4 to the tank, will I need to throttle the pump back? 1/2 horse 115v pump.
Thanks for the help.
