Well fresh drilled I should say...
Hi everyone, first timer here so forgive my ignorance on terms. I've been doing my research on putting a system in and this is what I've got so far. Any input on sizing and what brands to use in addition to what's missing or unnecessary would be appreciated. I'm planning to build a system that's going to last but also not excessive for cost reasons. I have a small mobile home with 21 fixture units I'm putting in now. In about 3-4 years it will be replaced with a max 40 fixture unit house. My irrigation needs aren't very high. I have about 12 dwarf fruit trees and a 300 square-foot garden. I have a fresh well dug and need to install my pump system. The well specs are as follows:
485 ft deep
7.5 gpm
6" hole with 4.5" perforated liner
Static water at 142 ft
Moderately hard water at 4 gpg.
250 ft from pump house with a ~20 foot rise.
Current and future house are ~80 feet from pump house.
1" water line and 1-1/2 conduit buried from pump house to house.
No line yet from the well to the pump house.
I was planning on putting in a Grundfos 1.5hp 31530265, model 7s15-26. This has a 1" npt fitting, I was going to do 200 psi 1-1/4" poly. Not sure if my 1-1/4" is bigger than I need or if 1" is fine. (For the weight or pressure?)
With my water needs and how much the well produces I'm not sure how far down I need to put the pump to be enough and not too deep to waste money on materials and extra load on the drop pipe.
Not sure on how often to put a torque arrestor or if any other check values are needed (I believe the pump has one built in.)
Planning on burning 1-1/2" conduit from the well to the pump house when I lay the poly and doing #8 wire.
Once in the pump house I think I'll need a water softener but haven't done any research on those yet. I was planing on installing a csv with a 4.5 gallon tank. Or maybe just getting this system https://cyclestopvalves.com/products/custom-pk1a-pside-kick-kit.
That's about where I am as of today and I'm continuing my research but figured it was a good time to ask for input.
