Hello,

I would like to relocate my current pump system (1/2hp shallow well with 5 or 7 gal pressure tank) from the spring house to the basement of my house. The horizontal distance is about 150 feet, the vertical rise is about 25 feet. Therefore, the new pump and tank would be about 25 feet above the well and 150 feet away.

What h.p. pump would I need? I think I will also be replacing the pressure tank as well. I plan on replacing it with a 30 gal tank. The pump services a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house, with washer and dishwasher.

Any thoughts as to which type/hp pump would work? It is a dug well and there is no casing. The water simply sits in the covered reservoir. The land is located in Pennsylvania (zip = 15957).

Thanks for any ideas.

Wes
