Hi,
I live in a low ground water. Most wells around here are about 10 feet. I was going to use a submersible for my sprinkler, but decided that was the wrong application. I have drilled two wells(don't ask why,that's another story) I purchased a 1 1/2 hp irrigation pump. I planned on using only one well with a foot valve, but had a thought to use both wells. Can I use two foot valves and tee them up to my pump suction? Do I need a check valve?
Also these wells aren't In the best location, using a submersible would have been great because I could have the pump in the well. With this pump it's above ground, can I run my suction pipe a 100 feet from my wells so I can put my pump closer to my house? I'm confused about the performance chart because of the depth of well, but this is a 100 feet inside a sprinkler trench. Is it the same performance?
