I have a shallow well about 10' deep, what size pump and pressure tank should i purchase? The well is approx, 75' from our home.

I have this pump and tank. I have a diagonal lift of 20 feet. it works very well. I push 4 faucets on the back side of my home. I have good pressure when using 2 of the faucets at a time. the pump turns on frequently but the pressure has been good. I have the unit under a workbench and love the small space it requires.

Because of the distance from the well I would suggest a bigger pump for you application. the manufacture I would also recommend, as I have 2 of their pumps, and I am very happy, with their products, and performance. T

The 3/4 HP shallow well pictured should be adequate. We pump over 100 ft. . Do not get a 1/2 horsepower.

System needs between 20-30 psi to be effective. Most "normal" houses have a water pressure of 40psi or better, which is why this system comes with a regulator. A low pressure well should operate at or slightly above 30 psi, so it should work perfectly fine.

The pump will work fine. Biggest problem is the pressure switch that comes with it. It is non adjustable and cut in pressure is so low you pretty much run out of water before it kicks in. There are adjustable switches available that are adjustable and not expensive.

A medium canister will work wonders for that size aquarium. I have a 75 gal and the med is perfect

You need 3/4" all way in order to keep the pressure adequate. Did you fill a 5 gallon bucket in 30 second or less? That is a major requirement for this size pump otherwise you have to buy the 750.

You can go pretty deep with this pump. But remember the deeper you go the less volume and pressure you will have. You could go 500 ft deep but performance will be greatly reduced than it would be at lets say 200 ft. I run at 150 ft and performance is great.

You can see a chart on depth/psi and some additional specs here: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/Mine is at 100' - I didn't get a chance to measure the gpm on my install, but it seems at least 12 gpm. Of course, my well is a slow artesian so I usually have 100' of head water on top of the pump. But so far it's been a great pump.

You will a pressure tank, I have a small passive tank with bladder, it also helps to keep the pump primed.

Mine is down 120', static water level in the well is 60', making the head pressure 60'. We get over 20 GPM at the surface - exactly as specified on their spec's. The pump will go as deep as 500' - you get less water the deeper you go. Go to this website for the spec's: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/ As to choking the pressure down to so many gallons per minute, you can buy a separate Dole Valve, rated at 5 GPM. They are for sale here; http://www.deanbennett.com/dole-flow-control-valves.htm

Original switch rusted, store had on off switches 20/40 30/50 40/60. Our well was about 150 feet deep and we selected a 30/50 and a new pressure gauge,it works fine. We emptied our blue water tank with bladder and with tire pump pressurized tank with air to two pounds below our on number (30-2=28) I do not know max pressure of pump is but very deep we'll would may not reach a high pressure shut off pressure. If you want or need to go up or down but new switch and repressurize empty tank on pressure minus two. Switch about $30

I have approx. 23' and still have plenty of pressure. I believe you are good up to 30'.

A small submersible mag drive pump about 175-250 gph should be fine. thanks! Steve

Not enough information??? How long will the piping be? Will there be more that one outlet? Will you have a power head and if there is what kind will you have,low voltage, line voltage or air power? Don't know what 2x25 means. The standard hose is 30 ft. Any other length will have a high price. Will you want a sock on the hose? Need this information befor I can help

I do not use a pressure tank. I just pump at my 500 gallon tank up 60 feet to another tank at my house. Today

No, you will need 30 lbs + pressure to reach your 12 feet... Suggest a diaphram pumping sprayer or electric 12 volt model.

I'm not sure how you want to use this system, but if you are using it directly after your well pump, remember it is only a 75 GPD. With that said, if you don't have a pressure tank in your well system, you may want to consider getting one to put somewhere upstream of the RO unit. I agree with the other gentleman who suggested treating the water prior to running it through your system, be it water softener or whole house filtration, something to extend the life of your membrane. Also, may want to get a tester or have your water tested to determine the effectiveness of the system wherever you decide to use it. Without understanding more of your situation, hope this info helps! Good luck!
