Hello all,
I am new to the forum and have a bunch of questions right away. I have a well 300feet deep producing 45 mpg. Static water level is at 30ft. I want to serve 3 houses and some irrigation/wildfire sprinklers in case. I thought 30gpm should be sufficient. People keep telling me that this is overkill. Are they right? My favourite would be an on demand pump/system with a pvc pipe. I read that a 3hp pump would be to much for a pvc pipe but one contractor told me you can use pvc piping if you use a continuous well pump. Any thoughts on that? I just have a hard time making up my mind since there are so many variables and so many different opinions. I hope you all have some advise and can help me figure this out. Thanks so much in advance and I can’t wait for your responses.
