    For openers lose the caps. We don't like to be yelled at here in The Plumbing Page.
    hOW MUCH WATER PRESSURE CAN BE GENERATED FROM A 1 AND 1/2 hp PUMP AT 550 FEET?]
    More details please. What is your well supplying? How much pressure do you desire? At 550 feet a 1/2 horse is pretty light
    For the job. Click on back with more details. Cheers, Tom

    If you know the manufacturer and model #, then they could tell you that. I would think you could get all the water you want if your pump is a horse and a half, though it's a little confusing as to the size of your pump.

    No confusion here jlisenbe. As stated in his post he has a 1/2 horse pump. Cheers, Tom

    "A 1 AND 1/2 hp PUMP"

    That's what I was referring to. Is it a horse and a half, or just a half horse?

    Either I misread the first post or the OP went back and corrected the horse power. Either way I read a horse and a half now, Regards, Tom
