Can a 12v pump even lift 200 to 300ft?
Wells here have to be really deep.
I will need at least a 3/4hp submerged pump pumping to a non-pressurized tank and that might only get me a few gallons per minute.
I will likely go with a 1hp pumping to an atmospheric tank so I can get 5 to 10 gpm.
I would consider solar powering the well pump since it's a 500ft run from the house to the well.
To power a 1hp pump off 240v it would only need 12ga wire. But that's still a lot of 12ga wire.
