Here's a livestock watering system and I need help with to select the well pump components. Its a system designed by the county but they leave the pumping plant decisions up to the owner.
There is a new well dug to 165 feet with 6 inch casing. Static water is seen 15 feet down and the well produced 40 gpm when tested. The well driller didn't give what the dynamic water level was while test pumping.
The pressure tank will be about 30 feet higher than the well location. I might have to trench 4 to 500 feet to get to the pressure tank from the position of the well. The highest waterers will be 30-40 feet higher than the well top. Most of the pipe will be 2 inch pvc and the furthest distance about 1400 feet away. The design says there's 5 feet of friction in the piping.
They say that the demands are 1750 gallons per day and peak demand is 12 gpm. I think I need to figure out a suitable pump and then the drop pipe, pitless adapter, wiring and tank requirements will flow from that?
I am helping a friend out on this because I did one on my own farm. We started with a functioning well, though.
I joined up to see If I could learn from advice about this and other projects, thanks for any input!
