Hi all, this is my first posting here. Glad I found this forum!
Our house is on a well with the pump located outside at the well. All the filters and softener is in the garage. I have installed a chemical injection pump at the filters for chlorine and PH. The well is now pumping what is called "red water iron" and keeps fouling out the water flow switch for the injection pump. My last resort is to move the well pump to the garage and eliminate the flow switch.
Question: The PVC pipe feeding the well pump is 1 1/4" and the line to the house (100+ feet) is 1". The supply line is then reduced to 3/4" to all the filters and softener then 1/2" to the faucets. Can I install the pump where the 1" line reduces to 3/4" or do I have to run the 1 1/4" all the way to the house?
Thanks for any and all advice!
Steve
