Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Re: Two homes, 1 well & pump, 1 pressure tank, pressure problems to second home
« on: February 23, 2013, 02:27:37 PM »
We are looking to do the same thing here.
We need to upgrade the entire pumping system and am looking for advice.
We currently have a 20' dug well, with a jet pump in the basement, 30' of 1" poly to pump with the regular 5 gallon "piggyback" pressure tank. What we want to do is run new 1.5" poly to the house, replace the pump with a larger jet pump in the basement (say 15 gpm), add the csv, put in a small pressure tank, then feed to house #1. After the pressure take we want to tee off and run 350' or 1.5" poly to house #2 with its own small pressure tank to handle line surge/shock.
Does this sound feasable to do, and which size tanks, and valve do you recommend?
Thanks
Stu
