Since I originally drilled my well, 2 neighborhoods have moved in and lowered the water table. I have run out of water on several occasions and but the well recovers within 15 minutes or so. Guessing it's about 2-4 GPM.
I saw this (https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/low-yield-well-solution.91651/) but is too extravagant for what I'm after. Looking to store spare water in the basement (can't store outside as it frequently freezes here)
The well is 65 ft deep with a submersible. I have a 40 gallon pressure tank in line, but have added a 25 gallon tank in line for more spare water.
Few questions:
1. Can I completely deflate the bladder in one of the pressure tanks to increase capacity or do both need to be inflated properly? Is one pressure tank's bladder sufficient?
2. Was thinking of a larger pressure tank instead of the 25 gal for more spare water. Any thoughts?
3. I have a spare softener resin tank. Could I somehow use that?
4. Is there a better solution that doesn't break the bank?
