Hello,
First off thank you much for the site and help. I have a well pump that we use to run our outside hydrants. We don't use this well pump for our house water but instead our house is on the city water. The outside hydrants are used primarily to water the lawn and water the livestock we have. At the moment we don't have a pressure tank on the well pump but instead we control it by switching on and off its circuit breaker located inside the house. As you might of quessed this is a big hassle to do. I would like a pressure tank on this system and I am looking into purchasing one of the well-x-trol underground pressure tanks but need alittle help with installation. The worst part is that I live in North Dakota so I have to fight with a bad frost line. I read the installation manual on the internet but it is lacking in some things. First off the water line doesn't run into the house so the pressure switch, pressure gauge, and relief valve will need to be installed underground with the pressure tank. Can this be done? I have been given mixed opinion on the subject. Some talk about tank vaults and I really don't know what that means either. Please help and thank you for you time.
