Hmm, maybe we need to upsize the pump to the house....

another option we've considered: instead of the two pressure tanks in tandem, maybe we separate the irrigation from the house supply-- what do you think? Use one tank with the existing pump, THEN run the house on the other tank with an upsized pump and CSV!?

We have a Red Lion 1hp 23gpm pump, model 602208. Specs are here: https://redlionproducts.com/cleanwater/premium-cast-iron-shallow-well-jet-pump-rjs-xx-prem-series/

Would it be adequate with your suggested setup?

Or, how about this: could we simple add a pump, csv, and mini tank at the house before the water heater?

We have two huge pressure tanks in pump house. Is there anything to gain by adding a CSV? We paid a bunch to get those two big tanks two yrs ago, so not ready to toss them. The deep well pushes water to a huge above-ground cistern, then a jetpump gets water to the two big tanks. House is far away, but no incline. Water heater is tankless and located in attic. We want as much flow and pressure as we can reasonably get, of course! We were looking at doing some sort of inline booster or additional pressure tank on the roof, then we found this site and info about CSV. Is it a waste if we already have two big pressure tanks? Our jetpump is 1hp, fyi.
