Before I go and do this all wrong, I could use a bit of input from some who've done this before.
If I've done this correct, below there should be an illustration of my "pump system diagram". Would love to hear if I've totally messed this up and what adjustments might be necessary.
One specific questions I have noted in the chart:
Where does the Pressure Relief Valve go?
And related to that:
What exactly is it going to do for me in this application? All of the charts and manuals seem to use it in conjunction with a pressure tank . . . but I'm not using a pressure tank.
Other items I anticipate may need to help me:
Thanks in advance for any comments and feedback. Appreciate the help.

Other items I anticipate may need to help me:
- My yard is flat (very flat, no more than 3-4' of rise from front to back)
- Cistern is lifting no more than 5-feet.
- Longest run is no more than 100'.
- I'm estimating I'll normally pull 15 to 20 GPM.
- one run is to a standard spigot so I can use a hose (or empty the tank). That run has 3/4" pipe I believe.
- Cistern is fed from rain water (gutters) and back-up from under my home (I have constant water at 5', about 8" below my basement floor, yes this kind of sucks, except potentially for this application)
Thanks in advance for any comments and feedback. Appreciate the help.
