![]() This makes it ideal for RV plumbing, marine, yacht, caravan, and courtyard long-distance pumping, watering, and cleaning. It features a fast water flow of 3.5 gallons per minute and a pressure switch set to 55PSI, 7.0 amps. PS, my well is about 30 feet from a creek, and I believe the bottom of the hole is about 2 feet below the creek bed.Kohree RV 12V Fresh Water Pump is a versatile and reliable water pump perfect for various applications. When the pump arrives, I will let you know if it works like I hope it will. Update on the pump: Called that phone number, and ordered the pump he suggested, much to my suprise, their price was 129 dollars, most other places were 143 to 212 dollars. I think I got lucky and will have a good supply of water. As near as I can tell, this is about 6" of water above the top of the T, leaving about 14" of water below the top of the T. a min., and I can pump for 22 minuets before the level falls to the top of the 10" T. I lowered a small sump pump down to the bottom of the T, it will pump 5 gal. It was then backfilled up to ground level, am now in the process of building a cover structure and sloping the sides away from the well. In the bottom, I put #2 stone, and dumped several tons all around and over the 10" pipe, creating what I hope is a good reserve cavity of water. ![]() I made a T from 10" plastic pipe (perforated) the bottom section is 7' long and a stand pipe of about 9'. At the 8' level it is pure sand and rock with lots of water. At around 4' down the ground is sand, rock, mud, and from 5' to 8' the water just pours in. I used my small backhoe and dug down 8' and a trench 7 feet long. Thanks Gary, I need to update my well situation. Your planned use will help decide what's best for you. Just thought I might toss this option into the mix. You have much more water resurve/recharge availabity the deeper you go with your pump. ![]() The recharge rate changes depending on rainfall, and season(summer/fall being lower usually.Īn option to the 2088 is a submerged unit (higher cost) but Surflow only has them in 24 and 48 volt models (as well as 110/220 ac). Check water levels every minute till it gets close to "static" to deturmine recharge. This will give you an idea of how much you can use without running your pump dry. Then measure the drop in the water level after drawing 50 or so gallons (optional depending on the largest water use you may have). If you do a pump drawdown test, do it at the rate your proposed pump will be pumping. That 7.5 to 9 gallons reserve may or may not be enough (all wells recharge differently). If it's a 6 inch well pipe, you have 1.5 gallons per foot of depth in the casing. If the Surflow has a 12 foot suction (think I read it does), you are only going to have 5 to 6 feet of reserve to use. The last few feet a well recharges is the slowest(due to water pressure of the water itself in the casing). Stuart/bigbear, your 5 to 6 foot to water is "static" level. Service Lead Eastern United do you guys think, sounds reasonable to me, now comes the search for the cheapest price, think I will call that PH# and see what they have to say. I recommend changing the diaphragm and valves every 1600-2000 hours of run time to avoid bursting, leaking or priming issues (planned maintenance is always better than pump dying while entertaining). These pumps have been working for 7-9 years. The pump I am recommending I have set-up in applications like yours with 3/4 inch plumbing and no foot valve in the bottom of the well (pump has check-valve in it). The variable speed pumps slow down the motor when they detect line resistance and they will not work with accumulators. The pump I am recommending is lower open flow but higher flow under pressure. The pump I would recommend for your application is 2088-514-145 you can purchase at 87. ![]() Thanks for the fast input guys, I had sent an email to ShurFlo Company, and here is what the had to say:
