Thanks, I actually utilized that diragram for wring etc.. but it's shows a single float system. I'm still looking for any 2 float setup; I found a couple on the web but it's best if someone share their experience with an actual setup. Thanks again!

So I tested the system with a float that controls both well and booster pump. While this setup works, it will be nice to have my well start pumping when the half way level is reach in the holding tank. This is not the case currently, it goes down to the level where the float is set almost to the...

Hello all: I need help with a holding tank float configuration. I have my holding 2800 gal tank now in place and will like to control the well pump and the booster pump and looking to do this the simplest and most effective way. Any recommendations on float types and configuration will be...

Good Stuff!!!!

So the Electrical Wires are shielded and insulated…. to your point, I did noticed the pipe looks “New” where the tape was used to secure the electrical wires. I’m furious with the driller about connecting that cheap crap steel pipe directly to the pump. I’m thinking about going with SCH 120 PVC...

Some Stats: -2hp submersible pump at 480' -Galvanized steel pipes Analytical Results of Water: -Chloride 133 mg/L -Hardness 492 mg/L -Nitrate -N 8.06 mg/L -Sulfate 315 mg/L -copper 0.005 mg/L -Iron <0.05 mg/L -Magnesium...

A two year old well with a massive growth where the metal pipe meets the well pump, which resulted in a leak. As the pipes were pulled I saw several sections with heavy rusting spot which is NOT a good sign. Any suggestions on how to fix this situation? I'm mad as hell, any help or suggestions...

Yep! I think the driller was thinking my well will produce enough water to meet my irrigation needs without a holding tank and figuring on a strong pump for the 500’ well plus another 500’ to my pressure and where the water is needed. Let me know if you have any ideas how I can make this...

Thanks Valveman and Gary for your comments. So then it’s not worth the effort in adding the 2nd 85 gal pressure tank. That said, I am planning on adding a holding tank along with a pressure pump. I am worry that my electric bill will be out of control as I have a 3HP in the well and I will...

I will like to share some pics of my well and at the same time ask a question. The very last shot of the blue holding tank and booster pump came with the house to supposedly compensate for lower pressure in the early days. These days the pressure is a steady 70 PSI with the pump off. The pump is...

Any vendors out there that deals with holding tank/pump setup?

I am finding out it's quite an expensive solution, I heard of people using solar power to run their pump so it peek my interest. The better solution is adding solar for the home and if the system is large enough all your power needs can be covered including the well. Does anyone have an idea...

I was just thinking solar for the holding tank pump; I am hoping to get by with a 1 HP pump from the holding tank. good points thou!

Great Schematic!! Thanks you sir!

Anyone currently have 3000 to 4000 gal holding tank configuration for their well water? I have 5 to 8 GPM well connected to a 119 gal pressure tank and it’s currently used for irrigation purposed only. I am able to water for approx 30 mins before allowing the well to recover for 2 hours. While...

Rick - do you have a holding tank or just using the storage in the well plus a bladder?

Thanks Travis! I think that’s a safe way to go. You have any idea what a 3000 gal holding tank with booster pump should cost?

Hello all – I just found this forum and appreciate the wealth of information on many topics I know very little of.. Here is my story, I live in southern California and decided to drill well for several reasons. My main reason thou, is the love of my small Avocado grove. I am afraid the costs...
