I have a nicely functioning well tank and submersible pump system at my home. (80 gallon well-rite, 1 hp pump) I have recently built a garage type building about 500 away with potential living quarters on the second floor. The garage is about 50 feet higher in elevation from the house and current well setup.
As a test, I pulled a long garden hose up there and the pressure is very low. I am planning on pulling a permanent 1' underground water line to that location. What do you recommend for a good pressure at the garage and a good supply of water there? A second pressure tank with some kind of pump? Or just a pressure boooster pump? Will a pump of some kind in the water line after my existing pressure tank cause some kind of problem at my house with the existing tank?
Any comment or suggestions are welcome. I am in the planning phase.
