I'm trying to figure a few things out and was wondering if you guys could answer a few questions.
1.) I'm trying to figure out how to increase the pressure or GPM of water at the faucet/bathroom or whole house for that matter.?
2.) And not have the pump come on with the flush of a toilet.?
From what I know I have a 1/3hp pump, the pressure tank is set to 35/55 I know that is kind of odd you would think 30/50 or 40/60. I have two pressure tanks plumbed together. One that is from the early 70's and galvanized (estimated 30 gallon tank), the other is WX-203 (32 Well-X-Troll tank fairly new). I think the galvanized is water logged and has failed, the switch is plumbed off of this tank as well with the pressure indicator gauge.
I have run through a few home tests and it appears my GPM is 1.4, however that just doesn't sound right to me.
We bought the house last year and contacted the company that serviced the well in the past, they suggested to get rid of the galvanized tank and solely run the WX-203 (by the way it is a 3 bathroom house with 2 people).
I do not know the depth of the well.
So with the questions above are there any suggestions.
thank you,
sean
