We need more specs. How far down is the water? I thought artesian wells had pressure. I'm not sure dc water pumps are all that available. For deep wells, I prefer a surface pump with a deep well adapter. Having the pump down the well is more trouble.

The pressure from the artesian well is insufficient to provide water for the entire household so additional pressure is required. I will also have a holding tank of approximately 20 gallons. How would a surface pump work? Thanks

If you're getting water all the way to the house, all you need is a booster pump. If you really insist on dc, look into pumps for boats. Otherwise, a regular house pump will do.
