I had previous posted questions regarding my need for a storage tank after my well could not supply my house, ( Scrutinize My Plan, Will Listen) Thanks for all the responses. Currently I am back pumping through a garden valve at the side of the house with a real small centrifugal pump from a 1000 gallon water tender, it is working okay. I have not went out for the booster pump and I am in need of a suitable one to get the job done. Harbor Freight is not my choice of places to shop as I have long term needs and prefer American Made and quality in mind. This will be a typical household need. I had mentioned in the aforementioned thread about a Goulds GT-10 or a J10-S as I was researching them somewhat. Valveman suggested not to utilize the GT-10, I guess it did not have the ability to pressure up the system and by looking at the PDF's it does look like the J10-S would be the one. Any other suggestions will be considered, (brands, pressure, GPM, simplicity or price) Also I am considering whether to go with a conventional galvanized tank. Quiestion??? Is it the booster pump that aerates the water that creates the air inside this type of system for pressure. My existing well has this type of tank and it has been trouble free for 34 years. The local supplier sells them for $477.00 and the ARV is $22.00. The Well-X-Trol WX350 pressure charged tank was right at $900.00 Surely the suggestion of the Pside-Kick and CSV looks appealing, I am really just trying to stay simple like I have always had. In short of changing to a bladder tank or the Pside-Kick which would be a new curve to me. Get me up to speed as to this booster pump working with a galvanized tank and also the particulars as mentioned above about any certain booster pump.. Thanks to all.
