I have a shallow well (15 ft to water level) and a 1/2 hp jet pump. Drop pipe is 1" poly and pipe up to house is 3/4" poly and goes uphill about 30 ft on a 130 ft run. All works fine. Pump takes 75 seconds to fill pressure tank (5.8 gal draw down) from 30 to 50 psi.
I am replacing the drop pipe with PVC to make it easier to pull it each fall (seasonal only-Massachusetts) by using a poly compression fitting instead of fighting with the poly stuck on the barb each time.
Question: Would there be any gain for me to move to 1 1/4" PVC for the drop pipe, or is my limiting factor the 3/4" poly to the house and I should not bother upsizing the suction pipe?
thanks,
