Re: Wells as a water source

And why would a secondary pump that's diesel be more reliable than an electric pump with back up power? Particularly since the well pumps are going to be electric and you don't mention any back-up at all for them. No water coming out of the well means no water for the fire pump. I've lost some part

Re: Wells as a water source

Where are you getting the well criteria? 1500 gpm out of a well probably means you are hitting an aquifer. Three of them and it is 4500 gpm. That's a lot of water. Where does the 26 psi come from? Is this based on other wells in the area? (My assumption is that they are to be new wells, not ex

RE: Wells as a water source

In the past I have seen what was called a canned pump used with wells. Put a vertical turbine pump in a 5 ft diameter sleeve 20 ft. deep and use the wells to keep it full of water while the pump runs. It saves the cost of a large tank but obviously is not as fail safe. Ron Fletcher Aero Automatic

There's something in 20 that says if its fire plus domestic the pump at least is NOT governed by 20. Maybe you don't need a real fire pump, just make the well pumps bigger. The variable speed seems to be work well (lol) over the range of low domestic and high FP. But it sounds like they have som
