I may replace my current pump, which I believe was installed three years ago by the original owner. The current Gould submersible is 1/2 hp and pumps only 5 gpm. I want to add backwashing filters to my filtration system, and rather than choose equipment for iron/sulfate removal that I don't want, I'm going to (maybe) replace the pump.
I don't know how deep the well is. I have never run out of water. I have run the pump for 12 hour sessions on the advice that I purge water from a well that hadn't been used in two years, and I never ran out of water. However, I still don't know what my well's replacement rate is. My neighbor has a much more powerful pump than do I and has never run out of water.
I am looking at an 13 and 18 gpm models. What other factors should I consider?
