Hi All, I have a small (20 ft diameter, 8 ft deep) swimming pond. It's unlined, and I struggle to keep the water as high as I like throughout the summer. This past fall I installed a drilled well on the property for drinking water and had amazingly good results. In addition to good supply of drinking water, it's "artesian"...meaning that it has enough flow and pressure that an excess of about 2 gpm overflows from the well. The overflow is diverted through a small pipe and exits into a swale about 15 feet below the level of the pond. I'd like to install a small "cistern" of sorts at the overflow and use a small pump to move this excess water into the pond. Do any of you have a recommendation for what type of pump I should be looking for that is low flow....only need 2gpm....but has enough oomph to overcome the 15 foot head?
