Bottom of wellpoint at 24.5', have 6' of standing water, 1 1/4" sched40 pipe, elbow, T for priming, checkvalve, 1hp redjacket cent/jet pump. Was able to put down 12gpm when i was developing the well (lots of water), prime the pump (difficult) and get a flow of about 1gpm (trickle)with the pump really struggling (bogged down). Check valve about 6" away from input of pump....? Would it be a problem with an airlock? Switch the pump to 220V? ideas? thanks will be used for irrigation, hoping for up to 8gpm
