hey y'all, I have been doing some home prepping for power outage scenarios. I have a 7500k propane generator that will run my Jet pump without issues and feed from my water storage tanks in an outage.
My issues with with the CSV and small pressure tank I would need the generator running basically any time I want water inside.
My thinking is, since I have a spare large pressure tank (50gal), could I Tee that in somewhere (like by my softener in the garage), with a ball valve on it. I basically wont use it at all unless the power is off for long runs again.
In a power outage I could open the valve to the large tank then turn on the generator for the jet pump, take showers, dishes, do whatever and it will top of the larger pressure tank. I could then have the generator off and we could have water pressure off the large tank for longer periods of time before needing to use the generator again. Washing hand, bathrooms, ect...
thoughts?
Thanks for the read if you made it this far
