I was looking at a friend’s well pump set up yesterday, they have well water being pumped into a cistern, then connected to a jet pump with a pressure switch— Going through a water softener , two whole house filters and then a UV filter, then into a pressure tank with another control switch, then going to their house. The control switches are wired together. I’ve only been doing plumbing for a couple of years now, so fairly new at this, but I’ve never seen two control switches before— Wouldn’t there only be one? And wouldn’t the pressure tank be placed before all the filters to avoid pressure fluctuations as the sediment builds up? Just curious. They are having some problems with low pressure and having to change the filters more often than normally (I’m guessing they need to clean the tank of sediment and/or add a spin down filter before the other filters). Thanks for your input!
