I have a 1/3hp well pump which i got from a friend. i am hoping to use
it to pump up around 80'.
It currently has 14gauge attached to it. Is this high enough gauge for
running about 150' in total length?
There are 4 wires attached to the pump. DO i need anything special for
hooking a 4-wire cable into my house 230v?

thanks in advance for any help!

Number 14 is fine for that length, in fact the generic well pump wire size
chart indicates it's good for around 500 feet for a 1/3 hp @230 volt. You
will need a pump control box that matches the pump and a 15 amp 240 volt
circuit and disconnect. You'll also need a pressure switch to control the
pump
