Hi Valveman,
I've been studying the forums and you now have me sold on the idea of a single speed submersible well pump with a CSV valve. Our driller provided us with a Grundfos 15SQE07180 without any discussion about options or features. That pump has since disappeared? (going on two years since the well was cased but never completed) and since I need to replace it any way I'm looking at going single-speed. I'm wondering if I can depend on the driller's estimate of our flow and pressure requirements and find a suitable replacement. As I understand, the Grundfos delivers 15 gpm, 3/4 hp, 220v, 3" diameter. Our line will run about 200 feet, the static level of the well is 10 feet, infiltration is between 65-85 feet, over 100 gpm refresh rate, and the point of delivery is downhill such that it is lower than the well itself. 15 gpm seems like it will cover all our domestic needs including a yard-sized sprinkler system. What would you recommend for a pump? It seems the more I read, the more criticism I find of name brand suppliers like Grundfos and Flotek. I'm at a loss.
thanks
Steve
