You are right Turtle a tank would be nice, but now that I realise this
water problem ,I have a free lake I can pump out of and save alot on my
water bill , I even see some distant relatives of yours in it ,
snappers . Either way its always something isnt it.


This is Turtle.

The Lake / The Tank Daaaaaaaaaaaa . The Sun has worked on that water there for a
good while and would be good.

Harbor Freight has a Transfer pump 1" -- 1 H.P. [ Electric motor and pump ] for
$59.00 . All you need is a supply line and water hook up. If I can remember i
think it is self priming too. Free Shipping with anything over $50.00 and no
sales tax.

All them Relatives don't like Chlorine either.

This is Turtle Again.

Correction here Pump and motor is $79.99 and not $59.99 . It's a 1-1/4 H.P.
motor with 1" pipe hook up. It on 115 volt service it is a 3/4 H.P. and 21
G.P.M. the two forms of info on the webpage of harbor freight does not match up
here. So they have a water pump for $79.99 and that is all we know. Even if it
is a 3/4 H.P. it will do all you want.

You need a bit more info on the pump. Transfer rate alone won't help
if you are trying to set up a sprinkler system. Many pumps have high
transfer rates but low head or delivery pressure.

This is Turtle.

The Webpage there displays the pump as a Shallow well pump for home use. Then it
will be designed for at least 100 psi and over 10 gal. per minute rate. House
and water well pumps have a min-uses rate to have. If it will not keep this rate
up. The customer will bring it back to seller. The show heads will just go down
to a dribble when you get going good. It's got to stay a head of a show running
or you get it back to the seller. Now they could have even screw that up too.

We still really don't know what it is for now.

Well pumps are usually on a 30-50 psi switch. Some even run 20-40. I have never
seen one running over 70.
I know my well will put out ~12.5 gal per minute on a 30-50 switch for 20 hours
because I just filled my pool.

This is Turtle.

Pumps are '' rated '' at 100 psi for water flow ability or Gal. per minute but
are not run at 100 psi in the operation of a home well system. The pressure of
the water in the home system is dictated by the pressure regulator / control
installed on it and like you say 30 to 50 psi on them.

The 10 Gal. Per minute is the low end of the scale for a water well service to a
home. You have 12.5 gal per minute filling the pool so you have a little better
than normal. They make lesser pumps than your to be called normal.
