Choosing a Water Pump
Your pump will see static head cause by the height difference, and dynamic head caused by friction losses as the water flows through your pipe and other components such as valves etc. The dynamic losses depend on the flow velocity of the water and the roughness of the pipe. The flow velocity depends on the flow volume rate and the pipe diameter. So to minimise the dynamic losses you should chose a large diameter pipe with a smooth bore. A garden hose is often half inch and will be very lossy. A better bet would be the MDPE water pipes used by utility companies to connect your house to the mains supply (at least in UK & Europe.) They come in various diameters up to about 3 inch. I used 50m / 150ft of 25mm / 1 inch pipe myself driven by a cheap AC pump and happily had over 40 litres / 11 gallon per minute out of it. Probably limited by the pump more than anything. Even with a new pump, if you only have half inch pipe i doubt you'll see more than 2.5gpm.

Water Pump - How Powerful Should It Be?
As another person said, you'll definitely want to use a pressure tank. Something akin to this is a convenient option, as it has the pump, pressure tank, and pressure switch all as one unit. The downside of this setup is that it's not a very big pressure tank and so the pump will have to run more frequently than if you were to use a larger, separate tank. More on reddit.com

eli5: How do water pumps work?
They take water in through a one side (possibly with a one way valve) and push it out the other side using pistons or impellers (like a propeller but with more blades, and often a solid base). Seriously nothing tricky or complicated. More on reddit.com

Constant pressure water system for well pumps
Not too useful: My well is 375+ feet deep (FL) with a 1HP Myers pump and a "30-pound bladder tank/30lb pressure tank" (it physically is 5 gallons in size IDK) the pump is an additional 300ish feet from my house (my property fears Indiana Jone's large boulder) and we have constant pressure after the 30+300feet of pipe water is used, as the bladder tank is drawn down (it sits right over the well pump) it fires up the well and recharges before we can use up the 'pipe water' - we CAN open the two tubs and the main discharge line (inline filter discharge) and lose pressure but we have to try. 2 full bathrooms and outside small farm, 3 people, normal new, water-saving appliances.

r/OffGrid on Reddit: Choosing a Water Pump
October 12, 2021 -

So I have a creek about 260ft away from the main house. The height difference is around 13ft with the creek on the lower end. So I have to pump vertically and horizontally.

I’ve run a line of garden hose (yes I’m aware pvc is better but cost wise and the flexibility of hose works better) and a length of 14ga copper wire over to a junction box on the edge of the creek to power an electric pump to bring water across.

I tested the system with a small 40psi 4.5gpm diaphragm pump run off a battery. It does work but the rated 4.5gpm flow dropped to 1gpm.

And since it’s 12vdc there will be too much voltage drop to run it and I don’t want to install an AC-DC converter over there.

So I need an AC pump for this too work. I found one that is rated to 160psi at 2gpm that fits my budget. Would that work better for my situation? Would the extra pressure allow for an increase in flow up from 1gpm?

Pretty new to pumps so any help would be great.

Thanks guys!
