The check valve is likely near the pump since I don’t see it before the pressure tank, so this method should be my best bet. What’s the cleanest way be to transition from the poly pipe to the pex? Bronze tee with threaded barb fittings?

Thanks for the reply. If I go with the tee before the pressure tank/switch, do I use the irrigation timer to start the well pump? Also, once I tee off the poly pipe can I immediately switch to pex with the proper fitting?

In preparation for an irrigation system, I’m looking for the best method to tap the well line. My well report says it’s was tested at 15 gpm. Currently there is a 1” poly pipe from the well which enters the pressure tank tee assembly, from there a 3/4” pex line goes into a tee (3/4” softener...
