My company would love to quote you a CFD model for your system. I’m guessing around 20K. Hit me up if interested in a detailed quote.

Baw u want to run a 350’ reach of pipe then 90 down and have a significant elevation change to the end of your suction line?
It don’t work like that baw. Put the pump at the well. Suction lines going to be much more limited than the discharge line

I would pump into a tank and then use another pump for the supply line personally.

Probably cheaper to tow your house over to the well.

I can fix it, but I need some #7 ball bearings and gauze tape.

Need to know the NPSHR of the pump, you have 34' of NPSHA available less the suction lift, obviously you can't have it nearly that far, put it next to the well.

About thirty seconds.

I’d probably go with gravity fed from a few feet.

One PSI per 2.31 feet of elevation. Easier to just have a small well house with a tank and pump/pressure tank. Could have the treatment/filtration and save space in the home. Just allow for cold weather protection as well.

Some good advice in this thread. I suggest you take it.

On a side note, It’s generally not a good idea to use a shallow well to supply your house. Water from shallow wells is easily contaminated.

Why would you not get a submersible pump?
Far more efficient to push water than to pull it.

I’m guessing he’s trying to drive/jet a well in and the casing is to small. Just a guess though.

Baw just put you a giant funnel above your house then redo all your piping so that it goes through the roof and connects to the funnel. You might need to wait for it to rain sometimes but this will work better than the original idea
