BigInch,
My original question was regarding the required flow rates for a single family home but the more everyone is weighing in on this and expanding the post, I felt you all needed to be made more clear on the situation.
The pressures and such are not new to this area. The more common well...
I have a call into the well driller to begin discussions with him. He's the same one that did the other house. I intend to collaborate with him and give him the top of casing information and let his experience of well sizing take over. Typically the well is checked at the source otherwise a...
Another snag to this is that we are going to supply two houses. The main house will be located near the same location as the well and a guest house will be at the top of the bluff. So my reasoning for using a vfd pump is so that I can offer a steady pressure at a varying degree of supply...
Thank you for your responses. I've decided to provide 20 gpm to the house and in order to keep my friction losses low enough, this works out to be a 1-1/2" line.
The pump is going to be on a vfd.
Thanks again.
Can anyone tell me what the standard design flow rate for a single family home on a well is? Need to size the line from the well to the house. House will be 157 feet higher than the top of the well casing and approx. 250 feet of pipe length.
That is on the table as a fall back and am quite confident that that would work fine. Of course there are some extreme elements associated with this project.
A tram system will be installed for the construction and for access to the house. A similar house was built next door and the entire...
I have a project that requires the sewer lead to come down a very steep hill. Slope is 8" per foot or 66%. The length of the run is 250 feet. Pipe will flattend to 5% at the bottom of the hill and proceed for another 50 feet before terminating in a septic tank.
Is solids separation an issue...
