The well is 635 feet deep. The well driller report states 20 GPM, Aquifer 490-520, 590-600. 400-635 BASALT.
The one well is shared between five households and the original set up is a 5HP 25 GPM Jacuzzi Submersible Pump & Motor. There are 5 Proline 62 Gallon Vertical Pressure Tanks, a Pumptrol Square D 30-50 switch with 5 separate flo meters to figure the billing. The system has been great with no problems other then replacing the pump fuses twice over 12 years. The only maintenance has been fixing the well house that stores the pressure tanks and checking the air pressure in the 5 pressure tanks. According to the flo meters we have pumped out about 500,000 gallons of water total.
Recently one homeowner added a 2,500 gallon plastic storage tank and what looks to be a 40 gallon pressure tank. Both tanks are next to his home approximately 65 feet from the well. We are unsure if he installed a booster pump and both tanks may fill with the main submerged pump in the ground. He claims there is not an electric pump installed with his tanks.
What effect if any will these tanks have on the original well, the in ground pump and 5 pressure tanks? Is the added 2,500 gallon storage tank and pressure tank set up and installed the best way? If this puts a tax on the submersible pump would a pump saver correct the situation?
Thank You! Any Advice Is Appreciated
