Greetings All.
New to the forum.
I'm no expert on the matter but I have a situation I'd like to share with you guys who know more than most...
Our old Indiana home has a defective 26 gallon bladder tank which was installed in the crawl space some 30 feet from the the well with what looks like 1.5" or 1.25" PVC. (From the tank it's reduced to 3/4" copper through out the home.)
I have purchased a new replacement 86 gallon tank and am locating it an additional 60' farther using 1.25" sch.80 PVC so this new tank will be located in the mechanical room in the basement. This new run of pipe needs to be strapped to the ceiling joists of the basement.
Are there any requirements or ideas regarding running and strapping this pipe this way ?
The well circuit is 20A. 220V. submersible pump I'm guessing it's a 40' well again guessing the pump/ motor maybe good for 10-15 gpm. max.
Also purchased a "big blue" filter housing that fits 4.5"x 20" cartridges. (I chose the 30 micron pleated type).
The total length of 1.25 " PVC pipe from the well head to the new tank location is maybe 90'.
Could someone tell me if I have all the following components plumbed in the correct order ..?
(from well casing) ---> 90' 1.25" PVC ---> Tank Manifold ---> 1" reducer nipple ---> 1" ball valve---> Pressure Regulator ---> Filter housing ---> 1" ball valve ---> 3/4" reducer bushing ---> to existing 3/4" copper plumbing through out home.
Does the above sound about right ? am I forgetting something ?
I appreciate your input guys, Thanks.
