I have a few questions concerning a new well that we plan to drive into the ground and also distances and such.
The first thing is we have a brand new (about a year or two old) well pump and tank.

If you cannot access the specs via the links, please let me know and I will provide all the details here.
Right now the setup we have is the 1/2 hp shallow pump on top of the tank and currently have the suction pump going down to the driven well about 10-15ft down.
Now, the problem that I am having now is I need to relocate the well and drive a new one to conform to standards to stay away from the septic tank outside. Now, the distance in which we will have to drive the well "should" be 15ft, but we might have to go to 20 ft. Now problem is, we need to then run this back to the house which I have measured and seems to be between 40-45ft in length from the driven well.
My question(s) are as follows.
1. Will the current pump I have work with this configuration? This is a small 2 bedroom home, 900 sq ft and has only 4 faucets which includes the outside faucet.
2. When I drive the well, I plan to install a "T" at the top which will be underground, then have a pipe come up above ground to be able to service the well if need be later down the road. My question is, do I need to have some sort of check valve installed in the well itself? or just once installed prior to the pump inside in the basement?
3. When running the pipe from the well to the pump in the basement, do I need to have the pipe run at an angle downward toward the pump? or does that matter?
This is the the well point I plan to use here as we have sand and should not be hard at all to do and our water table is around 15ft down.

This is all going to be 1 1/4 inch piping as well. Need thoughts on this. 2 people living in the home is all it is. For watering outside we have a separate well pump to use for just that.
Thanks for any and all help!
