my house is served by a well with a variable speed on demand pump that during escrow was giving 8 gallons per minute at about 60PSI. the lines from the well head to and from my filtration system are all 1". I do not know if there is a reduction in line size from the where it leaves the pump house to serve the residence.

the well is deep, to the tune of 700' with the pump sitting at about 650'. never an issue with the GPM or pressure to the house even with the three-stage filtration to clean up what is a very high iron content well with all 1" lines as described above.

as part of the filtration system there is a 5mil washable/disposable in line "big blue" filter, and from there it runs through an induction intake device of a bleach/water mixture that has the finite iron molecules glob together so the green sand filter next in the system is more effective. the current 1" intake unit that is a repurposed agriculture fertilizer unit has gone bad.

instead of ponying up $1k to replace it in kind I got an amazon unit for a couple hundred buck that has a 3/4" inlet and outlet (could not find a 1" in/out offering). I will bush it down and back up for the 3/4" inductor unit to the 1" existing lines and was wondering what I could expect in the way of pressure and possible volume loss? i can increase the existing 60PSI regulator a few pounds to compensate for what im doing.

any hydrologist here?
