I am a total newbie to wells. I bought property with a drilled and capped well. Well driller report shows 350' well with 20 gpm. There tends to be iron in the water and I need fire fighting water on property so I was thinking of putting in a storage tank which, from what I have been told, should settle out the iron before going to the house. Having a storage tank would also allow a lower production pump which would cycle on/off less often, saving wear on the pump.
I'd need a booster pump between the tank and the house and probably a pressure tank as well. I am seeking input on pump sizes and types, pipe sizings and any other ideas about my set up. Also, how do I determine the depth for placing the pump?
Thanks,
Gary
