Need recommendations on a water pump

[terracore]

Don't get one that is overpowered for the job. Our house came with a well pump that dims the lights when it roars into service. Our catchment tank is slightly uphill from the pump and there is no need for a pump engineered to suck water from deep within the bowels of the Earth. The unfortunate side effect of having an overpowered pump is that it takes a huge backup generator to start it when the power is out.

I would also recommend getting the largest pressure tank that is practical. Minimizing on/off pump cycles will help the pump last longer and going back to the power outages, you won't have to start the generator every time somebody flushes a toilet.
