I have a creek behind my house that hasn't run dry in the 3 years we have lived in our house and is constantly running. Currently I have a 1hp pump that pumps water out of the creek to one sprinkler head, however is somewhat of an inconvenience due to I) it doesn't get as good of coverage on our lawn/flower beds, ii) it requires dragging hoses,turning on the pump,etc. That being said, I have a sprinkler system that is run off of city water and was wondering if anyone has put in a valve to be able to switch from city to pump and if so, what hardware is required? Would I need a pressure tank and storage tank for the water and a separate pump to pump to the pressure tank to send the water to the front of the house where the sprinkler system connections tie into the city water?
Thanks in advance.
