Pump for two parallel sandpoint wells

[muddtree]

I've heard a few people discuss driving two wells and then combining them for more yield.

Can anyone describe the pump system for this?

If I have two 2" wells driven to 18ft, then the pump would need suction power of at least 40ft if they are both tied to the same line. Most pumps I've looked at don't go more than 20ft in suction power.

No your still pulling water 18' not 40'. Couple problems priming the pump getting all the air doesn't have a suction of the pipes, not having enough pump to overcome the foot valves and if one sandpoint sucks air back to priming.

How would you layout the plumbing so it properly primed? I'm going to throw into each sand point 1.25 PVC with foot valves.

Tap off the center of the two wells for even flow.
