No commercial electric power available at the well site. Existing shallow well goes dry in summer months. New well drilled to 140 Ft with 6" casing, driller says good for 15 Gallons per minute. Existing Honda powered 5-1/2 HP two stage centrifugal pumps (Grainger 5ZT40) 15 gallons a minute to a gravity tank elevated 100 Ft above existing shallow well. So far my plan is a intermediate transfer tank at top of new casing to collect water from the new drilled well and then a second lift with the same pump to the existing 100 Ft elevated gravity tank. The existing pump has 1-1/2 In inlet and outlets and a 2 In line up the hill to the gravity tank.
I am thinking 1-1/4 In down the new well to a new ejector and 1-1/2 in back up to the existing pump and transfer tank. Need a source for such a ejector and also need criteria for sizing the nozzle the ejector is to be equipped with?
All suggestions appreciated.
