I have a question regarded a water delivery system I've inherited the maintenance of. The system pulls water out of a very clean irrigation ditch feed by an artisian well. Our pump is a goulds gt20 (2 hp), it pulls water out of the ditch to feed the irrigation system directly and fill/pressurize our steel holding tank. The irrigation system works great, but the domestic water pressure fluxuates dramatically and directly with the pump activity. The two systems (irrigation and domestic) are not run at the same time. The domestic system pressure is controlled by a 30/50 pressure switch wire to the pump. The pressure line runs from the 500 gallon steel tank to the pressure switch. OK, that's basically the system. Now on to the question->
Question: I would like to maintain a constant (or near constant) pressure in the domestic water lines, but am not sure how to go about it. Do I need a pressure tank between the big steel pressurized tank and the domestic water main? An inline booster pump? Are there other creative solutions?
Thank you for your help or direction.
