1/4" pipe, but could get away with 1" pipe @ 5.56 feet of head per 100 feet = 16.68 feet of head in friction loss, plus extra loss in check valves, ball valves, etc. Lets round up to 20 feet. Total Head Required @ Start Up = Startup Lift + Pressure + Friction Loss = 180ft + 140ft + 20ft = 340ft Total Head Required During Run = Pumping Lift + Pressure + Friction Loss = 230ft + 140ft + 20ft = 390ft of head
Pump Curves
The below pump curve is for a 10 GPM well pump series from Flint & Walling. Note the dot on each curve - this is the ideal operating point for these particular models at 10 GPM of flow. Based on the TDH figure, you can easily look on the left hand side, draw a line from the TDH calculated over to the curve, and try to pick the pump that most closely matches your paticular TDH at the required flow rate. Ideally, that particular pump will also closely match at the start up TDH also. If the pump runs 'to the right' of the curve, meaning the well pump is pumping out in the white area on the right hand side of the curve (using a 3HP pump at 20 feet, for example), but not on the curve, the pump will develop a condition known as 'up thrust' which will destroy bearings & cause premature failure. It is very important to properly select the pump & curve, and to match this to the characteristics of the well. Based on the above example head calculation, we can determine that the best fit pump would be a 10 GPM 1 HP, or maybe a 10 GPM 1-1/2 HP, if 10 GPM was absolutely imperative during the longer run times (as the 1HP will drop down to about 8 GPM).
