I recently installed a new well pump when my 30+ year old Goulds 1/2 HP pump lost pressure after a melt down. I installed a Goulds GT10 irri-gator. The sole purpose of this pump is to run my irrigation. For some reason I just cannot get the pressure up. (insert cialis joke here) The heads run but barely. I have investigated a bladder tank but I am unsure if this makes sense given that this pump will run about 2 hours per day continuously and then off. I have read a few places that the pump runs more efficiently if it is pushing against a little pressure and that may be the issue here.
My questions are:
- Is a bladder tank a reasonable solution to this issue?
- If so what size would be reasonable?
