"high" pressure water pump
"high" pressure water pump
(OP)
I feel silly asking this question, but I've searched high and low on the internet and can't find a pump solution for my needs. The requirement is 500 ft of head (including losses) at 6 gallons per minute flow rate. I have 240 volt service available. Most "deep well" pumps seem to tap out at 100 ft or so. The highest I've found is 300 ft. I do not need submersible.
I am looking for a selection of pumps that service this range. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Max. Head (Ft.) 288
I need 500 feet. I've studied Granger and can't find any pump that can lift 500 ft. of head (even looking at 12 hp 3ph $5000 type pumps). As a matter of fact, nothing over 285 ft.

See page 30 for curve.
This is a 19 stage clean water pump with threaded in and out. This will require a flooded suction to be safe. This model is fitted with a 3 HP 3600 motor and can be had in single or three phase. Goulds also makes one.

Input your parameters there.. they'll find you a pump. Then call a local supplier, give them the pump model.. Tell them that you need a gear reducer & motor for it, and a mounting frame. Also give them your electrical service. Do you need a VFD? Call a local Baldor supplier and you can pick up a VS1PF + remote control switch for about $1000

Thanks for all the responses. Indeed I see pumps now that will easily do what I need, but where do I price them? How does one shop for these pumps? Is there a good on-line dealer that posts prices?
Thanks again.

Generally, they're more than willing to come and understand what you need and how/if they can provide for you. Then you can post what they say you need here and we can pick it apart like a pack of hungry wolves. :)

For a triplex plunger pump I recommend to ask CAT (I have no relation with them). They have a distributor in Costa Rica:
