Forgive me if this topic has already been covered elsewhere. I wasn't able to find anything specifically germane to my situation.

I have a spring that I've developed with concrete well tiles. It's holding about 470 gallons from ground level down 5 ft.

I need to get the water to my house site, which is about 6-8 ft above the spring and about 200 ft away horizontally.

I am also on an offgrid solar system.

I also do not have a basement and I'm in a cold northeastern climate (northern New England).

What is a good pump and / or pressure tank setup to get the water to the house and pressurized for use?

I am just starting to dip my toe into this topic so any basic info you can point me toward to make this decision would be very helpful. Thanks!  

 
permaculture is a more symbiotic relationship with nature so I can be even lazier. Read tiny ad:
