Is it possible to have the pressure tank in the well casing?
I am the second owner of this house. It was built about 10 years ago. The original owners had the well dug and plumbed to a shed so they could live in it while they built the house. The control box and pressure switch are in the well casing laying above the pitless adapter. I was told by the previous owner that the pressure bladder is in the well casing. I shined a flashlight down and I could not see anything resembling a bladder. I don't believe there is a pressure bladder because the pump kicks on and off with every small demand.
With all this said, I would like to install a pressure tank in the house (the shed is not heated anymore). Would I be able to leave the pressure switch and control box in the well casing and just install the pressure tank in the basement? I'm assuming not, because the pressure switch should be after the pressure tank, which has a check valve before it. Also, the power for the well pump comes from the shed's service panel, not the house's service panel.
Regarding wiring for the switch, I would rather not trench the hundred and fifty feet from the house to the well. Any suggestions for getting a pressure tank installed in the house?
