Hello, I am looking to install a Ritchie Water System on the farm. I have a well with a submersible pump that runs 400 feet through the pasture and into the pressure tank in the house. The well line comes up through the floor in the basement. I also have water in the barn running from the same well. Somewhere along the way they must have put a T in the well line to run water into the barn because I do not see a second line running from the pressure tank in the house back outside. Between the house and the barn there was a frost free faucet coming out of the ground but that began to leak so the previous owner removed it. I believe that line was also the one that feeds the water in the barn. I am not sure if there are any check valves down along the way other than in the well itself so my question is, can I tap into the well line running through the pasture (100' from the house) and put a check valve on the well side of that T so that my pressure tank takes care of the Ritchie and the barn (assuming there is not a check valve between the house and where I would T off the well line). Or would it be better to tap into the line as it goes into the barn and put a check valve before the T? Sorry if this is confusing, the well system on the farm went to a old house they tore down, then was rerouted into the new house and into the barn somewhere along the way. I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have to better clarify what I have going on.
