Hello, I hope I have found the right place to get some expert advice. I have a well on my property that is 46 foot deep. The static water level is 25 foot. I am on city water, but want to use the well to water my yard. I have looked at 1Hp 115V submersibles on the web and my question is do I need a pressure tank. All I want to do is run a hose from the well pump to a single sprinkler to move around my yard for watering here in HOT Georgia. The pump I am looking at says it will deliver around 30 gpms at a head of 30'. Is this enough pressure to run an oscillating sprinkler? Is it too much pressure? I understand I will have to step down in pipe size. The pump has 1 1/4 coming out of it so I would have to step down to a water hose up top. Basically, I am wondering if I need a pressure tank. This will not be plugged in all the time, only when I want to water the yard. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
