Hey guys,
I'm driving myself nuts reading this forum trying to figure out the optimal way to put this system together... I'd really like to hear from the experts.
I have a well that is going to feed a 2500 gallon tank which sits 100' from the house maybe 5' below it. I have a 30/50 pressure switch in a 3 bed 2 bath house. My initial plan was a 1/2 HP pump with a CSV feeding my existing 40 gallon pressure tank. The pressure tank and pressure switch all sit in the garage of my house.
I think I read that the CSV should go near the pressure tank but I was initially planning to put the CSV at the pump, can someone explain the reason to place the CSV and tank together? Also initially I was planning on just a jet pump at the tank, but then I saw a suggestion to use a well pump turned on it's side with a flow inducer, which would you guys do? And finally which brand/model pump would you recommend?
Honestly cost is not my primary concern, getting a system that works reliably is my #1 priority.
Thanks!
