    Well pit plumbing advice

    What type of pipe/fittings would I use to duplicate the setup coming off the input side of the csv in this picture you shared? : Also, I have a deep well jet (jet is in the well unlike the pump in your picture). In reading my jet pump manual, it mentions a pressure control valve on the outlet...

    Thanks Reach. I'm actually talking about just replacing up to the copper pipe that goes to the house with poly/SIDR; not the whole line to the house yet.

    Apologies that this wasn't made clear. The green arrow line is feeding a single hydrant next to the well. The red arrow line feeds the house, the barn, and the chicken coop. The barn and the chicken coop hydrants suffer from the same flow issues as the house. Everything you said makes sense and...

The pressure in the house is fairly bearable while the PSI is in that 40-50 range but becomes barely usable in the 30 range especially with more than one fixture running...

    Sorry, I meant to say the green arrow points to another copper line which feeds a hydrant next to the well pit that produces around 15GPM. Not that the line itself is a hydrant. Copper is 7/8" OD No filters inside the house. The same line T's off in the yard somewhere before the house and feeds...

    Well pit plumbing advice

    Hey guys. I'm wondering what could be done to improve the plumbing in my well pit. My issue I'm trying to resolve is I get about 2 GPM of flow to the house (red arrow in the picture is the 60-70' copper feed line to the house) and closer to 15GPM at the hydrant by the well pit (green arrow in...
