hi i am still awaiting the kind of pump


Question
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?

QUESTION: hi thanks for your quick reply.  initially a gasoline engine with a head of 280 ft. and i think 250 gal/min 7 hpr was recomended. and this performed  reasonably well.  so if i can get something a little more powerful may be up to 400ft head.  the water source is a stream with a steady flow enough to supply several pumps working at the same time.  the electric pump can be installed very close to the running water.  i hope this can give you enough information. thanks.

ANSWER: I am going to do some homework and get back to you on this hopefully within a day or so.

ALSO DO YOU HAVE 50HZ OR 60HZ AVAILABLE - I THINK I HAVE LOCATED THE CORRECT PUMP FOR YOU.

QUESTION: well i think it is 60HZ
still waiting on recomendations  

Answer
I apologize as this is the first time I have heard from you since last week. Give me just a day or so to get the information together again.

Is this something you would like to purchase? If so I can provide you with a quotation.

ONE MORE QUESTION - WHAT SIZE IS THE PIPE THAT IS 2000 FEET LONG?
