I recently had a well drilled. We went 760' with only 1 GPM. I hydrofractured the well and the flow went up to 16 GPM. At 140' he was pumping 16GPM and the water level remained flat. The static water level is about 30'.
My irrigation system was designed on city water at 14 GPM and 60psi. I am having that changed to 12GPM at 60 psi (or so that is my plan).
I am trying to determine the best pump system. Constant pressure is what a couple of well drillers have recommended. Some recommend Pump Start Relay. I have been reading about CSV as well as traditional systems.
This will only be used for irrigation and not the home.
I am looking for advice on the best type of system to last a while and work well. I am worried about the potential issues with VFD or constant pressure (electronics failure in particular).
Thanks. Joe
