I have calculated how much each zone...

    well pump noise

    Thanks for the info guys, one question I didn't ask, why did the original installer use 1 1/2" galvinzed pipe in the house. Before posting the original message I had decided to reroute the water line in the house, instead of tearing down the basement ceiling to try and find out what they had...
