Hi,
Our cottage has a 7 gallon Water Ace jet pump as a pressure booster for a rural municipal water supply with low pressure. I just bought the place from an estate sale, so some of the info I have is incomplete. But, I have good reason to believe it has has newly installed (within the past 3 or 4 years) water line from the street to the house.
Even with the pump, I find that it's not able to maintain decent pressure / flow for more than a few minutes.
I have a similar setup at my house but it is not the jet pump style - it's a much larger tank.
I wanted to find out if it is possible for me to install a holding tank of 20 - 40 gallons after the pump so it's a pressurized reserve of water to provide greater volume for a longer amount of time.
If not, what possible solutions are there to help overcome a low pressure and low flow situation?
