Hi,
I'm getting ready to finish my basement and I need to relocate my pressure tank because of the space it takes up and the fact there is no floor drain on that side of the basement. I have cold room that is separated from the main basement with a cinder block wall. I'd like to move the pressure tank in there and there is a floor drain only few feet away. My well line enters the house, goes about 18" via a 1" ploy line to a fitting that houses my pressure switch and gage, then goes another 6" via a gray PVC lie to a galv. tee which connects the main supply line and the pressure tank. What I would like to do is extend that line coming off the tee to the pressure tank though the cinder block wall about 6' away to the new location of the tank. That would mean a distance of around 7' between the tank and switch. I know the two are suppose to be kept close together but that would mean running two lines though the wall. Anything wrong with that distance?
Thanks!
