This may be a crazy idea and thought but, what I was considering doing since I need to dig up and replace substandard wiring from the main panel to well pump and the water line to the house was to use larger diameter waterline.
The well house will continue to be on 1 1/4" pipe (internally) from the wellhead through the various tanks, and filters. I have about 300' of water line to work with, so if I went with 2" or 4" line, the larger water volume in the line should add some contact time to the tanks I will have in the well house. I could always buy a second contact tank though.
Right now I believe my system is a 1HP 5GPM well. If I ever pull the well pump out, it will go back with at least a 3HP well pump and possibly 5HP with a desired flow in the high teens to low 20's.
With PVC being relatively cheap, my initial thought is this is a good idea. However, is it even practical to increase the 'stored gallons' for additional contact time with the chlorine system?
TIA,
Sid
