Well water capacity

[Rman]

I’ve got a 350 ft 4 inch drilled water well. It’s producing about 4GPM. Static level 5 feet water started at 280 ft pump set at 300 ft
Question is if I use 4 Gpm continually at any time for inside or outside watering needs will I ever run out of water?
I do have a Cycle stop valve and a 10 gpm 3/4 hp pump
Thanks

As long as you are using less flow than the well will make, you should never run out of water. I have a well that makes 4 GPM and I have a it running at 3 GPM 24/7/365 and it hasn't shut off in over 18 years so far.

If I need a higher gpm say 7 gpm does the well still produce 4GPM while I’m using 7 gpm?

Yes. If you have 20' of water in the well that is about 30 gallons stored before you get down to the 4 GPM the well is making. So, you should be able to use 7 GPM for about 15 minutes at a time.
