Interesting.......In our last home we had only 3 gpm and originally
trucked in 26,000 gal. to fill the pool. I later installed a 1,000 gal.
underground reservoir with a float switch and an additional jet pump and
everything worked fine as long as we were somewhat careful with extended
usage. I don't know what our present well flows, but I do know that we
let it run at approx. 6 gpm for seven days continuously and it never
quit!
