good morning and good day all. Off to install a booster pump at a friend's place. She's been without water for 2 mo. Well died apparently. I'll look at it later, but for now got city H2O to the house but only 15 PSI at the bottom of the hill. Need it 50 ft higher and so, here we go. A $500 pump to install and test out today b4 rains come at 11.

Welp, I tried out the expensive 3/4 horse that I thought would be marginal, and I was right. Then went and got the 1 HP blue bomb and it will work to get to the top of the hill, but still going to have to put in a 1/2 HP version of the blue one at the top to boost enough pressure for the house. Both together will be cheaper than the $500 automagical that was recommended to her. I'm calling it a win. Will deal with a housing, the 2nd pump, and fine tuning when I get back from Colombia next week 💦

Oh, and then to tie in a 250 cistern on the roof with the small pump for backup.
