I have a cabin about 300' from my well and about 30' elevated from the well. The water heater doesn't work properly. The flow is low through the tankless electric water heater. Is it necessary to increase the flow? If so, how am I able to do that?
 
Is the well pump rated for that lift if not might need to upgrade to a different model that is able to cope with the rise
