I have installed a 5000 gallon storage tank for our irrigation system.
I would like to fill the tank (bring level back to normal height) during the all irrigation off times.
My normal irrigation requirements are approx 2500 gallons per day, the well is a 12 inch bore, flow rate 14 gallons per minute, the static head is 65 feet and the pump is at the 320 foot level of the 800 foot in total well.
I plan to pump from the well with the submersible 2.0 HP pump to the top of the 5000 gallon tank (no pressure tank in the line) and draw water from the bottom of the storage tank with a 1.5 hp jet pump to feed a bladder type pressure tank and hence the irrigation system.
My main question is would a Cycle Stop Valve work for this installation, installed in the 5000 gallon tank supply line from the well.
My problem is to pump at around 5 to 10 gallons per minute to fill up the 5000 gallon storage tank without pumping at too high a flow rate and hence pump the well down below its recovery rate.
Basically I need some type of a restrictor device that will not damage the deep well pump but at the same time reduce the GPM flow of the pump supplying the non pressurized 5000 gallon tank.
Thanks
