Hi,
I have a 10 foot well and only 4 feet of water that is consistant. All my neighbors have external high pressure pumps that work fine, but I wanted to use a submersible pump.
I'm a little worried about the water level and the heat. I would like to use a inducing sleeve. My well is 6 inches with a 4inch submersible. If I use a 5inch sleeve does this effect my GPM in a six inch welll? I need to sustain the required GPM to water my lawn. The pump exceeds the requirements, but I don't know if the sleeve reduces GPM.
Also, I obviously can't put the sleeve end directly on the bottom of the well. What options do I have, can I anchor it to the well wall or add a brick down there? Would 6inches be enough room for the sleeve to be above the ground.
Any thoughts appreciated.
