Solar help
Guess I need to explain some of the area lay out issues
We'll is about 350 ft from where I will build the house, I will need to pull 150 ft of 4" we'll stem to install a smaller pump below the main turbine heads, not a big deal I've done this before.
> Existing house is about 100 years old and started out as a barn
> just do not know how to size pump for in slab PEX heating.
> solar/electric pump, have not decided which. Life expectancy of solar is a lot less than electric
> what ever pump I use will require 350 ft run to the house and 350 run return back to well
> Water is pumped from well to either the lake to cool or to an in ground 2500 gallon cistern that is located near the well
> The cistern has an electric pump that pumps to an elevated tank on the house roof
> house water pressure is mostly gravity, I do have a small pressure pump for the master shower to boost pressure
> temperature of the water at the house after it goes thru the cistern and elevated water tank is around 70 or so
> Electricity is expensive in this area, so that is a consideration also
>styrofoam 2" and 4" is the only insulation I have seen in this area, insulation is not used in normal Mexican construction
