Touchdown! Greaser!
I saw a thread about electric wall switches so I will take that as a go-ahead to ask about my plumbing!
I have a well about 1000' from the house. The pump is set at 60/40 psi. From the pump to the house is 1 and 1/4' black fastline. No appreciable elevation change, few bends or turns.
The problem is low water pressure at the fixtures.
I can't up the well pressure because there is another building 200' from the pump and I might blow the fixtures in that on.
I was thinking of a boost pump/tank arrangement at the house but cannot find anyone here with the right knowledge about how to go about it.
How about this?
well-->pump-->1000' to house-->check valve-->40 gal reservoir-->boost pump*-->house
*1/2 to 3/4hp, 3450rpm, 120 or 240V, single phase c-face motor with an impeller style pump and pressure switch on outflow leg set to 40/60psi.
My biggest concern is cavitating the pump because it is hungrier than its supply. I figured if someone was showering, and either the irrigation or the washing machine was on - a 40gal tank would avoid this.
Thanks!
