To start, my system is currently a well point (free flow well) > Jet Pump (supplies Aerator tank and auto pool filler)/Pressure Tank > Aerator Tank > Secondary pump (***** from aerator tank and supplies house)/Pressure Tank (52gal). The current secondary pump is on it's last leg (Sta-Rite SND-L 3/4HP pump 15GPM max) and can barely supply 40psi to the house (10-ft head from the aerator to top of pressure tank where it's mounted).
When that kicks the bucket, I want to be preplanned for it. I came across a clearanced deep well submersible pump. It's a 1HP, 20GPM/1200GPH pump 3 wire pump and control box for $200 so I snagged it. My first thought is that I could drop this into my aerator tank with the proper sleeve to act as my supply pump for the house. The pump says it can be horizontal so in theory, the inlet location is not much different than from the current jet pump suction hose, so i wouldn't lose any capacity.
The reason I want to go this way (other than it being cheap) is it removes the noise of the pump from inside my garage to inside the aerator tank but I'm not quite sure if this is a good idea for a pump built to send water up 200-ft and it would only be sending it up 10-ft now. I was wanting to increase the pressure switch to a 30/50 from the current 20/40 but my main concerns are more related to the kick on pressures a deep well submersible pump may kick out. Not too well versed in these style pumps compared to a shallow jet.
