Here's my problem... I need to supply occasional supplemental water to my (when full) 2 acre pond due to drought and slow seepage loss. I considered having a a new well dug to supply the water and am hoping for around 80 gpm of flow. Initial estimate over $10k! I am now considering using my existing well to supply water for both the pond and my house. Currently 2 people but with 3 beds and 2.5 baths it could be more someday. My well is 450 feet deep with water to 150. My pressure tank is in my crawlspace. A well company is suggesting a constant pressure system using a 5 hp pump that can use my existing wire and tank that will both run my house and supply my pond needs by just adding a 2" water line the 350' to the pond. Asking about $7k. Do I need to be as skeptical as I am? Can this work? Should I be looking at a cycle stop valve? Totally ignorant on this and could use some opinions! Thanks, Bill
