Frequently Asked Questions / Sixteen homes at different elevations. What is pressure switch setting?

« on: October 21, 2018, 09:31:29 AM »

I have a new well feeding sixteen homes. The difference in elevation from lowest to highest home is 130 feet, and distance between them is 1700 feet. The well cap is located at the lowest home.  Elevation plus pipe friction from the well cap to highest home adds up to a pressure loss of 107 psi.

I purchased a 2 inch diameter CSV3B2T.  Cary recommends an 86 gallon tank. Both will be located at the well cap.

What should the pressure switch be set at?

Thank you.
