The pump I'm using is a Dayton 5UXJ5.  I be it's right at it's limit at 65PSI.

After I thought about it I know I could use a submersible pump.  My first thought was I would need a small crane to pull the pump, but thought of a better way (man hole is 12' high).

What submersible pump would you recommend?

I'm not sure about using a submersible pump.  It would have to be hung from the top of the tank and I'm not sure if were able to do that.

I know that if I stick with centrifugal pumps that I will need 2 passable 3.

The current pump is able to build to 65PSI and cycle.  Right now we only have 3 of the 8 houses in production.  With all 8 houses in production and using a CSV I don't think the primary pump would cycle.

I need to replace the temporary pump on my broiler farm.  I'm not able to find anyone that installs cycle stop valves with in 150 miles of me and I think that my estimated flow rates scare a lot of people away.  With being under construction we have a lot of educated guesses.  We need 45 psi at the broiler house so 50PSI at the pumps.  POCO has a 3HP per motor limit (7.5HP limit on fire pumps).

We are planning on a max flow of 60 GPM and somewhere between 55,000 and 65,000 GPD.

Pulling water from a 100,000 gallon storage tank.  3HP booster pump with 100 gallon presser tank, switch set at 50 – 65.
