    Well pump to 525 gal water tank help

    Will a float switch make the pump cycle on and off rapidly (thats bad right, wear on pump) Or will it just make the pump come on once to fill up tank and then go off. Also would you have a recommendation for a good float switch for this application. Also a relay, one more item too, can you...

    Well pump to 525 gal water tank help

    If I use a float switch, do I need a pressure tank? I thought I could use a well submersible pump, through black pipe to the tank. In the tank have a float switch that connects 12v to 240v via a relay. When the switch is on, pump is on and pumping water. When switch is off, pump is off...

    Well pump to 525 gal water tank help

    OK, thanks, but few more clarifications. The well is 300' from the tank, the power is coming from the garage 150' from well and also from tank. On your drawing (very nice btw) you have booster pump, check valve, PK1A control kit x2, and you have plumbing to house. On my application I only...

    help with sizing a gravity feed tank pipe

    Reply to post Chris thanks for getting back. The requirements are: 20-28 psi from the water tank to the manifold (based on 4.3 per 10 feet of head). From the manifold the switches work down to 4 psi. It is a gravity feed drip irrigation system. I am wondering if 1" tube/pipe might have...

    help with sizing a gravity feed tank pipe

    Hello all, I am installing a 525 gal water tank 40-50' up on a hill. The tank will flow water by gravity down to a 4 way manifold that waters my garden. The distance from the tank to the manifold is +/- 600'. Can I use a 1" pvc pipe or will that cause too much friction. Are there any other...
