Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Need Advice on Setup for a Resto in the Philippines
« on: December 22, 2019, 04:59:56 AM »
I am a Swiss living here in the Philippines and about to open a Resto/Bar. I have built yet another well which will be 70 feet deep with a 6 Inch PVC casing. I have a Goulds 25GS15 (25 is the max GPM and 15 = 1.5 HP) with a Franklin Motor and I have ordered a CSV1A. My estimated water consumption would be about 1000 Gallons per day but this could become more. I live in the province of the Philippines and there is no chance to find anybody knowledgeable about the whole setup of a water system - a plumber here is somebody who knows how to join PVC pipes but you have to provide the design. If not they might do very interesting things :-) ....
My hope is that the yield from the well is sufficient to build the system without intermediate storage tanks. The loss of PSI due to the filters will be about 15 and so I would like the valve PSI setting as high as reasonable. Let's state 45 PSI as the minimum after the filters.
And here my questions:
1) I tried to use the "Minimum Pump Run Time Calculator" to figure out the size of the pressure tank that I need but I am not so sure whether I use it correctly. The values I entered are 0.7 GPM (is this right? I just divided the 1000 Gallons by 24 * 60 minutes), 70 Valve Setting and 60/80 for the pressure tank. The result would be a 32 Gallon tank ... a fool with a tool. So I really would need advice on the size / specs of the pressure tank that I have to look for.
2) Would you recommend to me to get the Cycle Sensor Pump Monitor in this setup?
3) Maybe this is a stupid question but I have to ask it :-) ... do I need a check valve anywhere between the submersible pump and the CSV?
4) Any other advice is welcomed ... maybe everything is wrong what I am trying to do.
I am an IT person and far from being knowledgeable about water systems. But after my experience here with my first well built by drillers and plumbers here (diameter 1 3/4 Inch with no screen, 70 feet and a screaming jet pump - all with a very low yield) I was forced to google and read.
Any help is more than appreciated ... thanks in advance.
