Frequently Asked Questions / Two Pump System for Household Service and Mandatory Fire Sprinklers
« on: April 10, 2015, 12:59:10 PM »
I am rebuilding a house that has an existing well system which uses one of your CSV's and Cycle sensors. The new house requires fire sprinklers in a multi-purpose configuration where the plumbing fixtures are tied into the loop that feeds the fire sprinklers. Since the fire sprinklers require a 35 gpm flow and 50 psi and the well pump supplies 10+ GPM I will need a booster pump and a storage tank. I would like to use the setup you showed here. http://cyclestopvalves.com/smf/index.php?topic=2090.0
My well is 300' with a 45' static level, water comes in at 190' and 230', pump is set at 280'. Well pump is a Goulds 1 1/2 hp 10 gpm. The well head and future tank is 150' from the house which is 15' higher at the floor level.
What booster pump would you recommend to go with your Pside-kick? What settings for the pumps' switches and CSV's?
If the well pump is supplying 45 PSI at the house now, what effect does that have on the booster pump since the pressure of the line going from the storage tank into the booster pump is only about 3 psi? I gather that the booster pump pressure would be added to the well pump pressure as it would if the pumps were in series, right?
Thanks for your help.
