Question
i have a three acre piece of farm land, slope, on which i plant all kinds of vegetables. besides the soil is not deep perhaps an average of 4 inches deep and then the rock. the wind is pretty strong and the sun is blazing hot from 8 am. i need an electric irrigation pump to handle this area. the distance from the source is 2000 feet and the highest point is 200feet. please recomend to me a pump that can handle this kind of demands. preferable a single phase unit but three phase is also welcom. thank you looking forward for a reply
Answer
I WOULD NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR WATER SOURCE BEFORE CONTINUING AS THIS IS A COMPLEX QUESTION. IS IT A WELL, BODY OF WATER, OR DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY?HOW MUCH WATER IS AVAILABLE - MEANING: (1) IF WELL - HOW FAR TO WATER LEVEL, RECHARGE RATE, TOTAL DEPTH (2) BODY OF WATER - DIMENSIONS AND DEPTH (3) DOMESTIC - SIZE, TYPE, FLOW, PRESSURE. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT SUBMERSIBLE, ABOVE GROUND, OR BOOSTER PUMP?
