Well to jet pump to 3 poly storage tanks?

[tawnee]

I have a very shallow well it's 45 depth with 20 ft of water GPM level of three I'm needing to figure out how to add a jet pump to the well to (three) hundred gallon poly storage tanks to the water compressor tank if anybody has a diagram or anything that could help I am a beginner and I have no way into moving into my house until I can figure this out thank you

I think you are looking for a cistern type of setup. That means one pump to fill the storage tanks from the well. That pump would be controlled by a float switch in one of the tanks. And a second pump to send water to the house under pressure. That second pump is controlled by a pressure switch and pressure tank. Lots of diagrams on this forum for this setup.

I think the difficulty you will have is joining your three tanks together so that they don't leak. And they might be too small to get a float switch in.

Like this. The diagram shows two submersible pumps but you might be able to use two jet pumps instead.

If your well casing is 4" diameter or larger, a submersible pump will be always superior compared to a jet pump. Same for the pump to supply the home fixtures as show above. A submersible pump is often installed horizontally within a cistern.

Because your well has a 3 GPM recovery rate and does not provide much water storage, the well pump's output will need to be reduced to 3 GPM or less. A Dole valve installed on the pump outlet is often utilized to reduce the flow rate, but a ball valve could provide the same function.

With a 3 gpm recovery rate, your well is capable of supplying 4,320 gallons per day.
