Thanks Cecil,
Yes we have a good opportunity with a new well to keep the costs down even with pumping water. The submerssible in sleeve pumps are not very efficient since they are restricted to a 3" vane for their pumping action. An out-of-the-well shallow well pump is much more efficient since the vanes are 8-9" in diameter. I have a similar 1 HP unit for my sprinkler system at my house and draw from a canal and at 1 HP I probably can get upwards of 50-60 gallons per minute flow. They are also alot cheaper to purchase.
