See if 3-phase is available at your place. If it is, that's an option for a different pump. My well pump is only 3/4 or 1 hp and I can pump more than half of what you are pumping. My well is 66' deep, and the head is 13'.

I'm looking at a 5 hp 3-phase pump that can pump 320 gpm......


I'm thinking static water level is 30 feet. The household well is 16 feet.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
