Hi, I have a well with a submersible pump that pumps water up and over a ridge (approx 3o feet high) then down to the house (approx 40 feet down from ridge). The water travels around 200-250 feet. Currently the water goes to a pressure tank beside the house and water pressure is no issue. Because of water supply issues in the summer (the well sometimes goes dry) we are adding a storage tank that we are going to locate on top of the ridge. Our pressure tank also broke. I am thinking of putting a 2000 gallon or larger storage tank on the ridge and having it gravity feed to house. I am wondering if the pressure isnt enough for the shower what is the best option to increase pressure? Would a booster pump be enough or do I need a booster pump-pressure tank combo? Or any other ideas? If so any suggestions on best brand/size. I am thinking of putting the booster pump right before plumbing enters the house.
Thanks a mil for any suggestions!
