I’m a newbie here on the forum looking for advice. Not a newbie from DIY. From well log, my well is 238 feet deep. Water was hit at 120-140 ft. The casing was installed to the bottom of the well. The casing was perforated at 140 ft. The 10 gpm pump was set at 230 ft. The well log indicates the well was developed to supply 3 gpm. The pump discharges into a large hold tank (~500 gal) with a float switch. The house is supplied with a small centrifugal booster pump with a medium size bladder tank with pressure switch.
I am looking to install a single heat pump geothermal system that requires a minimum of 6 gpm. The system indicates a 6-8 gpm range is preferred. I am looking to install a heat pump with superheater on it to make efficient hot water.
I have a verbal quote from driller indicating that to produce 8 gpm the well would need to be deepened to about 470 feet deep. This is consistent with other well logs in my area. A 1 ½ to 2 HP submersible pump would need to be installed. to pump the 8 gpm. The wiring would need to be upgraded from 12 gauge to 10 or 8 gauge.
I’m looking for the most efficient way to supply the house, barn, and geothermal unit.
Researching the forums, I like the idea of reusing the water off the geothermal to supply the house and barn and possibly adding either a sprinkler or pasture irrigation system and dumping the non-reused to drain tile into the field. Any thoughts on collecting water in 500 gallons hold tank for future use?
I see the (4) heat pump system with the house booster pump diagram. Is there a diagram for what I am trying to accomplish? Which CSV valves are recommended? Any additional advice or questions for the driller quotes would be appreciated.
I live in a hard water area and plan to install a water softener on the house water supply.
If additional information is needed please request.
