Hello all,
So I successfully set up my drain back system for my river however I get hesitation, around 30 seconds at most before the water makes it back up from the river—then it runs indefinitely.
Right now I am using an 80 gallon waterworker pressure tank that holds—I believe—25 gallons of water. The run is approx 300’ up from the river. Based on that physics it’s just not enough. Is there a way to set up separate air and water tanks so I can avoid this hesitation? Maybe like a 50 gallon water tank to be safe to never have to worry about running out before the water makes it back up?
It sucks to eat the 600 bucks for the bladder tank and I’m grateful to have a successful self draining/working system not being a plumber; but it’s going to get old waiting for water supply during showers.
